Jammers Vs Falsifications
Not long ago Ukrainians had to choose a person to lead them to the bright future and as usual 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 in 2004, improved methods 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. Today’s equipment made possible for a person to gain absolute control over the voting process of another person with the help of various spy gadgets. Thus some political parties decided to place small hidden wireless cams 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 support video calls were used.
Knowing all this, some parties provided their representatives with special cell phone jammer to disrupt 2.4 GHz frequency and thus to stop opponents from using wireless cams. Also GSM and 3G jammers were used to disable any mobile phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases only one jammer was used. That universal jammer not only blocks all those frequencies but also is very compact so it was not a problem to use it secretly.
As you see, jammers 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?
