Cellphone jammers alone do not suffice to impede communication from incarcerated individuals

Image
The existence of cellphone jammers within the nation's prisons does not completely impede incarcerated criminals from engaging in communication with individuals on the outside. This is the view of senior prison officials who tell the Sunday Express that even though the signal blockers (which they say are operational) are used to block signals from cellphones within the prisons, other interception technologies are needed for the system to be effective. Cellphone jammers are currently employed, however, their optimal effectiveness is achieved when combined with other technologies like Wi-Fi jammers . This correlation has been observed in different jurisdictions, but its proper utilization is yet to be fully embraced here. Within the prison, there will be individuals who have cellphones and tablets, yet they will be unable to make regular phone calls. However, they can make use of the phone's data or, if they have access to a hot-spot device or a Wi-Fi box, they will have ...

A guide on obstructing GPS signals

Image
The rise of the Internet of Things has led to an increasing demand for location services. According to certain institutions, it is predicted that 60% of Internet of Things devices will rely on geographical location data.

The GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) is a highly esteemed international club comprising of merely four members, which garners the interest of global leaders and the scrutiny of numerous esteemed scientists and engineers. These four members include the GPS of the United States, GALILEO Galileo of Europe, GLONASS of Russia, and Beidou COMPASS of China. There are four prominent satellite navigation systems worldwide, including China's Beidou satellite navigation system, the United States Global Positioning System (GPS), the European Union's Galileo satellite system (GALILEO), and Russia's GLONASS satellite system (GLONASS). These four sys...

Allowing state prisons to confiscate cellphones within their facilities is a necessary measure

Image
Once again, state prosecutors from different states are advocating for Congress to enact legislation that would authorize state prisons to block cellphone signals utilized by inmates. These prosecutors argue that these devices enable prisoners to strategize acts of violence and carry out criminal activities. A letter, signed by 22 Republican prosecutors led by South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson, was dispatched to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. The prosecutors emphasized the necessity for Congress to pass legislation that would grant states the power to establish a cell phone jamming system. The primary aim of this system is to safeguard inmates, guards, and the general public. It has been stated by Wilson's office that they will be reaching out to Democratic state prosecutors, emphasizing that the issue is not a partisan one. The attorneys have shared a letter with The Associated Press, wherein they mention a handful of crimina...

A DIY gadget created to block cell phone reception

The FCC generally prohibits the use of cellular phone jammers as they interfere with the communication systems of emergency personnel, who rely on the same frequency as cell phones for a substantial part of their communications, including their own use of mobile devices.Nonetheless, prisons, schools, and city governments have actively campaigned for the authorization of signal jammers . Their objective is to combat cheating in classrooms, promote road safety by keeping taxi drivers and limo drivers focused, and prevent prisoners from utilizing smuggled cell phones. Wave Bubble Cell Phone Jammers Given that cell phone jammer are illegal, individuals must resort to either illegal overseas purchases or unauthorized home construction.

Determining the Strength of My Cell Signal Jammer

Image
Signal Jammer bars are meaningless It is important to note that the signal strength bars on your cell phone are not a precise measurement of the Signal Jammer's strength that is affecting your device's signal reception.While signal bars do provide an indication of your reception quality, it is worth noting that there is no standardized measure equating a specific number of bars to the effectiveness of a cell phone jammer . Each cell phone manufacturer employs their own calculation method, resulting in variations across the industry.The presence of two distinct phone brands on the same cellular network, when positioned adjacent to each other, can result in the depiction of dissimilar signal bar quantities. The prevailing belief is that the signal jammer is an outstanding device. Nevertheless, is this assumption accurate? Here, we elucidate various means to evaluate the strength of a cell phone Signal Jammer. What’s considered “good” cell Signal Jammer? The strength of 4G...

Transforming a DIY video transmitter into a WiFi jammer

Image
The proliferation of FPV drones has brought a flood of cheap wireless video tech. After flying and crashing a cheap FPV drone for a bit, [GreatScott] decided to try his hand at building his own video transmitter, which turned out to be a lot harder than expected. While digital technology has caught up to the FPV world, a lot of systems still use analog video, especially for drone racing. The video quality isn’t great, but it has the advantage of very low latency. The technology is very similar to the old analog TV broadcasts, but mainly uses the 5.8 GHz license-free bands. It is essentially analog video signal, frequency modulated onto a 5.8 GHz carrier signal transmitted through an appropriately sized antenna. After a brief failed experiment with a simple circuit built from discrete components, [GreatScott] turned his attention to voltage-controlled oscillators (VCO). He bought a couple of 5.8 GHz VCOs from Aliexpress, and created and used a simple opamp circuit to boost the FPV ca...

Prepare for Disaster: A Resolution for 2024

Image
During the Christmas season, Western infrastructure suffered another perplexing failure. Regardless of the potential culprits, it is crucial for democracies to swiftly extract the valuable lessons from this incident. Throughout most of Europe, Christmas Day brought a semblance of peace and happiness, albeit fleetingly. However, this tranquility was abruptly shattered on the second day of Christmas when an unexplained failure in the widely utilized GPS satellite positioning system impacted the Baltic Sea region. It is highly unlikely that we will ever have definitive knowledge about the true culprits, although the most probable scenario suggests Russian involvement. In the autumn of 2023, when three data and energy connections located on the Baltic seabed were targeted, both Russian and Chinese vessels were positioned directly above the affected areas. Subsequently, it was revealed that the Chinese ship had unintentionally severed a gas pipeline by inadvertently dragging an anchor a...
