President elections are protected With Jammers
Once again Ukrainians had to choose a person to lead them to prosperity and as always some political forces 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. 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. Today’s technique allowed a person to get full control over the voting process of another person with the help of various spy tools. Thus several political forces 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 mobile phones that support video calls were used.
Knowing all this, other parties equipped their representatives with special phone jammer to block 2.4 GHz waves and thus to stop competitors from using wireless cams. Also GSM and 3G blockers were used to jam any cell phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases only one jammer was used. This universal jammer not only blocks all those frequencies but also is highly compact so it was not a problem to use it secretly.
As you see, jammers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet territories. The demand for phoneblockers is growing not only among common people but also among different government officials and organizations. In January 2010 blockers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 cell phonejammers are supposed to be used during exams at schools. What’s next?
