Jammers Vs Falsifications
Recently Ukrainians had to choose a president to lead them to the bright future and as usual some political parties tried to use any chance to gain more votes, even unlawful ones . 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 technique has one big disadvantage, voter may take money and still give his vote to another candidate. It was almost impossible to spy out the voter’s choice until now. Today’s equipment made possible for a person to gain absolute control over the voting process of another person with the help of various spy gizmos. So some political parties decided to set small hidden wireless cameras 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” decision. Also for these purposes cell phones that support video calls were used.
Knowing all this, some parties equipped their representatives with special phone jammer to jam 2.4 GHz waves and thus to prevent opponents from using wireless cameras. Also GSM and 3G blockers were used to block all mobile phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases only one jammer was used. This universal jammer not only disrupts all those frequencies but also is rather compact so there were no problems with discreet usage of it.
As we 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 January 2010 jammers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 phoneblockers are supposed to be used during exams at schools. What’s next?
