President elections are protected With Jammers

Once again Ukrainians had to choose a president to lead them to the bright future and as always some political forces tried to use any possibility to gain more votes, even unauthorized 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. The thing is that this method has one big disadvantage, there is a possibility that voter will take money and still give his vote to another candidate. It was almost impossible to spy out the voter’s choice until now. New technologies allowed a person to get full control over the voting process of another person with the help of various spy devices. So some political parties started to place small hidden wireless cameras 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” choice. Also for these purposes cell phones that support video calls were used.

Knowing all this, some parties provided their representatives with special cell phone jammers to block 2.4 GHz frequency and thus to stop opponents from using wireless cams. Also GSM and 3G blockers were used to disable all 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 bands but also is rather compact so there were no problems with discreet usage of it.

As you can see, blockers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet territories. The demand for cell phoneblockers is growing not only among ordinary people but also among various government officials and organizations. In winter 2010 blockers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 phoneblockers are supposed to be used during school exams. What’s next?
