Jammer – Ideal Weapon Against Falsification
Lately Ukrainians had to choose a president who will lead them to prosperity and as usual some political parties did everything possible to win, even if it was forbidden. In addition to ”ordinary” methods of falsification that were used in 2004, 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 one big disadvantage, voter may take money and still give his vote to another candidate. It was absolutely impossible to find out the voter’s choice until now. New equipment made possible for a person to gain absolute control over the voting process of another person with the help of various secret gizmos. Thus several political forces decided to set small secret wireless cams on the bribed voters to get real time video from voting cabin and so got the opportunity 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 equipped their representatives with special phone jammer to jam 2.4 GHz waves and thus to stop opponents from using wireless cameras. Also GSM and 3G blockers were used to disable all mobile phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases a single jammer was used. That universal jammer not only disrupts all those frequencies but also is extremely compact so there were no problems with discreet usage of it.
As you see, jammers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet countries. The demand for cell phoneblockers is growing not only among ordinary people but also among different government officials and organizations. In winter 2010 jammers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 phoneblockers are supposed to be used during exams at schools. What’s next?
