President elections are protected With Jammers
Not long ago Ukrainians had to choose a person who will lead them to prosperity and yet again some political parties did everything possible to win, even if it was against the law. In addition to ”ordinary” 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, voter may take money and still give his vote to another candidate. It was almost impossible to find out the voter’s choice until now. New equipment allowed a person to get full control over the voting process of another person with the help of various secret gadgets. So some political parties started to place 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” choice. Also for these purposes mobile phones that support video calls were used.
Knowing all this, other parties provided their representatives with special phone jammer to jam 2.4 GHz waves and thus to stop opponents from using wireless cameras. 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. That universal jammer not only jams all these frequencies but also is rather 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 territories. 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 cell phoneblockers are supposed to be used during school exams. What’s next?
