President elections are protected With Jammers

Recently Ukrainians had to choose a president who will lead them to the bright future and yet again some political forces tried to use any possibility to gain more votes, even unlawful ones . In addition to “standard” ways of falsification that were used in 2004, improved methods of interfering into voting process took place.

Everyone knows 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 give his vote to another candidate. It was almost impossible to find out the voter’s choice until now. Today’s technologies made possible for a person to gain absolute control over the voting process of another person with the help of various spy gizmos. So several political forces started to set small hidden wireless cams 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, other parties equipped their representatives with special phone jammer to disrupt 2.4 GHz frequency and thus to stop competitors from using wireless cameras. Also GSM and 3G blockers were used to disable all mobile phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases a single jammer was used. That universal jammer not only disrupts all those bands but also is very compact so it was not a problem to use it secretly.

As we 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 various government officials and organizations. In January 2010 blockers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 phoneblockers are supposed to be used during exams at schools. What’s next?
