Jammers Vs Falsifications
Lately Ukrainians had to choose a person to lead them to prosperity and as always some political forces tried to use any chance to gain more votes, even illegal ones . 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. The thing is that 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 absolutely impossible to spy out the voter’s choice until now. Today’s technique allowed a person to gain full control over the voting process of another person with the help of various spy gizmos. So some political parties decided to place small hidden 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 cell phones that can be used for video calls were used.
Knowing all this, other parties provided their representatives with special cell phone jammer to block 2.4 GHz frequency and thus to stop opponents from using wireless cams. Also GSM and 3G jammers were used to block all cell phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases a single jammer was used. This universal jammer not only disrupts all these bands but also is rather compact so there were no problems with discreet usage of it.
As you see, blockers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet countries. The demand for cell phoneblockers 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?
