President elections are protected With Jammers
Recently Ukrainians had to choose a person who will lead them to the bright future and as always some political forces tried to gain more votes in any possible way, even illegal one. In addition to ”ordinary” methods 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 serious 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. Today’s equipment made possible for a person to get absolute control over the voting process of another person with the help of various spy tools. Thus some political forces started to set small secret wireless cameras on the bribed voters to receive real time video from voting cabin and so got the chance 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, some parties provided their representatives with special cell phone jammers to block 2.4 GHz waves and thus to prevent opponents from using wireless cameras. Also GSM and 3G blockers were used to jam any mobile phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases only one jammer was used. This universal jammer not only disrupts all these frequencies but also is extremely compact so there were no problems with discreet usage of it.
As we can see, blockers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet territories. The demand for cell phonejammers is growing not only among ordinary people but also among different government officials and organizations. In January 2010 blockers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 cell phoneblockers are supposed to be used during exams at schools. What’s next?
