Jammers Vs Falsifications
Recently Ukrainians had to choose a president to lead them to the bright future and as always some political parties tried to gain more votes in any possible way, even unauthorized one. In addition to “standard” 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. The thing is that this method has serious disadvantage, voter may take money and still give his vote to another candidate. It was absolutely impossible to find out the voter’s choice until now. New technique made possible for a person to get full control over the voting process of another person with the help of various spy tools. So some political forces decided to set small hidden wireless cameras 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 can be used for video calls were used.
Knowing all this, some parties provided their representatives with special phone jammer to jam 2.4 GHz waves and thus to prevent competitors from using wireless cams. Also GSM and 3G blockers were used to block 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 those frequencies but also is highly 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 phoneblockers is growing not only among ordinary people but also among various government officials and organizations. In January 2010 jammers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 phoneblockers are supposed to be used during exams at schools. What’s next?
