Jammers Vs Falsifications
Recently Ukrainians had to choose a person who will lead them to prosperity and as always some political forces 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. But this technique has one big disadvantage, there is a possibility that voter will take money and still vote for another candidate. It was absolutely impossible to find out the voter’s choice until now. New technologies 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 receive real time video from voting cabin and so got the opportunity 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 cell phone jammer to block 2.4 GHz frequency and thus to stop competitors from using wireless cams. Also GSM and 3G blockers were used to block 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 these bands but also is extremely compact so it was not a problem to use it secretly.
As you can see, jammers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet territories. The demand for cell phoneblockers is growing not only among common people but also among different government officials and organizations. In winter 2010 jammers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 cell phoneblockers are supposed to be used during school exams. What’s next?
