President elections are protected With Jammers

Recently Ukrainians had to choose a president to lead them to prosperity and as always some political forces tried to gain more votes in any possible way, even forbidden one. 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. Today’s technique made possible for a person to gain absolute control over the voting process of another person with the help of various secret devices. So several 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 chance to check whether the voter made the “right” decision. Also for these purposes mobile phones that can be used for video calls were used.

Knowing all this, other parties provided their representatives with special cell phone jammer to disrupt 2.4 GHz waves and thus to prevent competitors from using wireless cams. Also GSM and 3G jammers were used to block any mobile phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases a single jammer was used. That universal jammer not only blocks all those frequencies but also is extremely compact so it was not a problem to use it secretly.

As we can see, jammers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet countries. The demand for cell 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 exams at schools. What’s next?
