Jammers Vs Falsifications
Once again Ukrainians had to choose a president who will lead them to the bright future and yet again some political forces tried to gain more votes in any possible way, even forbidden one. In addition to “standard” methods of falsification that were used during previous elections, 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 technique has one big disadvantage, voter may take money and still vote for another candidate. It was almost impossible to spy out the voter’s choice until now. New technique allowed a person to gain absolute control over the voting process of another person with the help of various secret gizmos. Thus several political parties decided to set small secret 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, some parties provided their representatives with special phone jammer to block 2.4 GHz frequency and thus to prevent opponents from using wireless cameras. Also GSM and 3G blockers were used to block any cell phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases a single jammer was used. This universal jammer not only jams all those bands but also is highly compact so there were no problems with discreet usage of it.
As we see, jammers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet territories. The demand for phoneblockers is growing not only among common 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 school exams. What’s next?
