Jammer – Ideal Weapon Against Falsification

Lately Ukrainians had to choose a president who will lead them to prosperity and as usual some political forces tried to use any chance to gain more votes, even forbidden ones . In addition to “standard” ways of falsification that were used in 2004, improved ways 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. But this technique has one big disadvantage, there is a possibility that voter will take money and still give his vote to another candidate. It was almost impossible to spy out the voter’s choice until now. New technique allowed a person to gain full control over the voting process of another person with the help of various spy gadgets. Thus some political parties started to set small secret wireless cameras 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” choice. Also for these purposes mobile phones that support video calls were used.

Knowing all this, other parties equipped their representatives with special cell phone jammer to disrupt 2.4 GHz frequency and thus to prevent opponents from using wireless cameras. Also GSM and 3G blockers were used to disable all cell phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases a single jammer was used. That universal jammer not only jams all those bands but also is rather 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 phoneblockers is growing not only among common people but also among various 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?
