President elections are protected With Jammers

Once again Ukrainians had to choose a president who will lead them to the bright future and as usual some candidates tried to use any chance to gain more votes, even forbidden ones . In addition to ”ordinary” ways of falsification that were used in 2004, improved ways of interfering into voting process took place.

Everyone knows 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 vote for another candidate. It was almost 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 tools. So some political parties started to place small secret wireless cams 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 cell phones that support video calls were used.

Knowing all this, some parties equipped their representatives with special cell phone jammer to disrupt 2.4 GHz frequency and thus to prevent opponents from using wireless cameras. Also GSM and 3G blockers were used to block any mobile phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases only one jammer was used. This universal jammer not only blocks all those bands but also is highly compact so it was not a problem to use it secretly.

As we see, blockers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet territories. The demand for phoneblockers is growing not only among common people but also among various 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?
