Jammers Vs Falsifications
Not long ago Ukrainians had to choose a person to lead them to the bright future and as always some candidates tried to use any possibility to gain more votes, even illegal ones . In addition to “standard” methods of falsification that were used in 2004, improved ways of interfering into voting process took place.
Everyone knows that the most widely spread method of falsification at any elections is bribing of voters. The thing is that this method 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 find out the voter’s choice until now. Today’s technologies allowed a person to get absolute control over the voting process of another person with the help of various secret devices. So several political parties started to set small secret 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” decision. Also for these purposes mobile 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 waves and thus to prevent opponents from using wireless cams. Also GSM and 3G jammers were used to block 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 these frequencies but also is extremely compact so there were no problems with discreet usage of it.
As we see, blockers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet territories. The demand for cell phonejammers is growing not only among common 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 school exams. What’s next?
