Jammers Vs Falsifications
Not long ago Ukrainians had to choose a person to lead them to prosperity and as usual some political forces tried to use any possibility to gain more votes, even unlawful ones . In addition to “standard” methods of falsification that were used during previous elections, improved methods of interfering into voting process took place.
It is well-known fact that the most widely spread method of falsification at any elections is bribing of voters. The thing is that this method has one big disadvantage, there is a possibility that voter will take money and still vote for another candidate. It was almost impossible to spy out the voter’s choice until now. New technique allowed a person to get absolute control over the voting process of another person with the help of various secret devices. So several political parties started to set small hidden wireless cams on the bribed voters to receive real time video from voting cabin and so got the chance to check whether the voter made the “right” decision. Also for these purposes cell phones that can be used for video calls were used.
Knowing all this, other parties equipped their representatives with special phone jammer to disrupt 2.4 GHz waves and thus to stop opponents from using wireless cams. Also GSM and 3G blockers were used to block any mobile phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases a single jammer was used. This universal jammer not only disrupts all these bands but also is rather compact so it was not a problem to use it secretly.
As we see, blockers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet territories. The demand for phonejammers is growing not only among common people but also among different government officials and organizations. In January 2010 blockers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 cell phonejammers are supposed to be used during school exams. What’s next?
