Jammers Vs Falsifications

Lately Ukrainians had to choose a person to lead them to prosperity and as always some candidates tried to gain more votes in any possible way, even illegal one. In addition to ”ordinary” ways 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. But 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 find 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 spy tools. Thus several political parties started to set small secret wireless cams 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 mobile phones that support 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 competitors from using wireless cams. Also GSM and 3G jammers were used to block any mobile phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases only one jammer was used. That universal jammer not only blocks all these bands but also is rather 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 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 phonejammers are supposed to be used during exams at schools. What’s next?
