President elections are protected With Jammers
Lately Ukrainians had to choose a person to lead them to the bright future and as always some political parties did everything possible to win, even if it was forbidden. In addition to “standard” methods of falsification that were used during previous elections, 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. 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 get absolute control over the voting process of another person with the help of various secret gizmos. So some political parties started to place small hidden wireless cams on the bribed voters to receive real time video from voting cabin and so got the chance 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, some parties provided their representatives with special phone jammers to disrupt 2.4 GHz waves and thus to prevent opponents from using wireless cameras. Also GSM and 3G jammers were used to jam all mobile phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases only one jammer was used. This universal jammer not only jams all those bands but also is extremely compact so it was not a problem to use it secretly.
As you can see, jammers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet territories. The demand for phonejammers is growing not only among common people but also among different government officials and organizations. In winter 2010 jammers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 phonejammers are supposed to be used during exams at schools. What’s next?
