Jammer – Ideal Weapon Against Falsification
Not long ago Ukrainians had to choose a person to lead them to prosperity and as usual some political parties tried to use any chance to gain more votes, even forbidden ones . In addition to ”ordinary” methods of falsification that were used during previous elections, improved methods of interfering into voting process took place.
Everyone knows that the most widely spread method of falsification at any elections is bribing of voters. The thing is that this method has serious disadvantage, there is a possibility that voter will take money and still give his vote to another candidate. It was almost impossible to find out the voter’s choice until now. New equipment made possible for a person to get full control over the voting process of another person with the help of various secret devices. So several political parties decided to set small secret wireless cams on the bribed voters to get real time video from voting cabin and so got the chance to check whether the voter made the “right” choice. Also for these purposes mobile phones that can be used for video calls were used.
Knowing all this, other parties provided their representatives with special phone jammer to block 2.4 GHz frequency and thus to stop competitors from using wireless cameras. Also GSM and 3G jammers were used to disable all mobile phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases a single jammer was used. This universal jammer not only blocks all those bands but also is highly compact so it was not a problem to use it secretly.
As we see, jammers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet territories. The demand for cell phoneblockers is growing not only among ordinary people but also among various government officials and organizations. In January 2010 blockers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 phoneblockers are supposed to be used during school exams. What’s next?
