President elections are protected With Jammers
Lately Ukrainians had to choose a president to lead them to prosperity and yet again some political forces tried to use any chance to gain more votes, even unlawful ones . In addition to ”ordinary” 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 method has serious 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 equipment made possible for a person to gain full control over the voting process of another person with the help of various spy devices. Thus 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 opportunity to check whether the voter made the “right” decision. 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 phone jammer to disrupt 2.4 GHz frequency and thus to stop opponents from using wireless cameras. Also GSM and 3G blockers were used to jam any cell phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases only one jammer was used. This universal jammer not only jams all those frequencies but also is rather compact so it was not a problem to use it secretly.
As we see, jammers 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 various government officials and organizations. In January 2010 blockers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 phonejammers are supposed to be used during school exams. What’s next?
