Jammers Vs Falsifications
Not long ago Ukrainians had to choose a person who will lead them to prosperity and as usual some political parties did everything possible to win, even if it was against the law. In addition to ”ordinary” 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 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 gain full control over the voting process of another person with the help of various spy gizmos. So several political forces started to place small hidden 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 cell phone jammers to jam 2.4 GHz waves and thus to stop opponents from using wireless cams. Also GSM and 3G jammers were used to disable any cell phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases only one jammer was used. This universal jammer not only blocks all those frequencies but also is highly compact so there were no problems with discreet usage of it.
As you can see, jammers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet countries. The demand for phonejammers 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 phonejammers are supposed to be used during exams at schools. What’s next?
