GPS Jammers Can Wreak Havoc, Cover up Crime

Image
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is now almost as widespread as electricity. It has transcended its initial purpose as a travel aid and is now integral to the landing of aircraft, the navigation of ships, the synchronization of data within communication networks, and the management of extensive power grid loads. We have developed a considerable dependence on the exact positioning and timing functionalities of GPS, to the point where we tend to take it for granted, believing it will always be accessible in times of need. GPS was originally intended for the tracking of military vehicles and weaponry, and its application in civilian contexts was not anticipated. Recent advancements have revealed that GPS faces security vulnerabilities that could lead to severe consequences for individual devices as well as the nation’s critical infrastructure. Small Cost, Big Consequence The foremost danger stems from a phenomenon that experts are increasingly concerned may be developing into a tre

Using signal jammers stop employees using cell phones work leads FCC fine

Image
The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has earlier endorsed a workplace policy that prohibits employees from using cell phones for safety reasons. Furthermore, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has recently confirmed a fine levied against an employer for the use of signal jammers to block employees' access to cell phones during work hours. Devices known as signal jammers are designed to suppress, block, or interfere with authorized radio frequencies and communications, and their use is prohibited under the federal Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”), with certain limited exceptions. The presence of mobile jammers poses a serious threat to public safety by preventing individuals from contacting emergency services via 911, disrupting the communications of first responders, and interfering with critical safety communications in both aviation and maritime contexts. Under the provisions of the Act, the use or operation of any device designed for the trans

Shield Yourself from GPS Tracking Technologies

Last month, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a brief with the U.S. Court of Appeals, as noted by The Washington Times. The brief argues that authorities are permitted to collect cell phone tracking data without probable cause for any conceivable reason within a 60-day timeframe, which is essential for enabling emergency services to respond effectively during emergencies. The government appealed to the district court, where the discussion addressed location information, including critical third-party business records that were not protected under data privacy laws. The judge determined that this was indeed a violation of the Fourth Amendment. The primary issue is that granting authorities access to personal location data for two months enables them to form a complete picture of an individual's life.This information can disclose a person's complete network of friends, their political affiliations, coworkers, religious beliefs, hobbies, and even negative habits such as gaming

Massive Jamming Tanks Prevent the Functionality of Any Drones

Radio frequency jamming is the best protection against drones. To work, it must broadcast noise on the same frequency band that enemy drones use to communicate. Of course, drone operators are constantly changing the frequencies they use, and jammers must also keep changing to remain effective. The alternative is to jam all frequencies all the time? Typically, a signal jammers can only handle one frequency band at a time. For example, the popular Breakwater ("Volnorez") Russian jammer, which is about the size of a dinner plate and attaches to the outside of a tank with magnets, can be set to block one of twenty different frequency ranges. Breakwater can shoot down any drone using that specific frequency from two hundred meters away, making the vehicle immune to FPV attacks on that frequency band. But if it's the wrong frequency, a drone will fly right over and destroy your tank. This means you have to know which frequency the enemy is currently using, or put twenty diff

A Signal Jammer Was Located by Officers While Conducting a Search

While searching for evidence linked to a suspected burglary, officers in Vanderburgh found a signal jammer. Officers of the Vanderburgh County Sheriff's Office found a highly advanced signal jammer during a search, signifying the first time that the sheriff's office has detected such a device. As noted by Sheriff Robinson, this device is capable of shutting down Wi-Fi cameras, doorbells, and security systems that function with radio sensors. It can render all such devices inoperative. The exclusive purpose of possessing such a device is to perpetrate harmful deeds for wicked intentions. It has been reported by authorities that owning a signal jammers is permissible under the law, yet its operation is deemed a federal offense. Sheriff Robinson mentioned that the next action involves discussions with lawmakers. He commented, "It is surprising that Indiana does not possess a statute that directly addresses the jamming of communications. I think this is an issue that shou

Is There a Device or Method to Call 911?

Is there a device or method to call 911 even if cell phone jammers are being used in the area? In the past, my abuser would use a cell phone jammer when he broke into my house, preventing me from calling the police right away. I tried to call 911, but the call never went through. I eventually reported him to the police. I'm worried he'll show up again. How do I make sure I can call 911 no matter what? Will a wearable panic button still work with a cell phone jammer? What about a satellite communicator for hiking/backpacking? Realistically, the FCC will only start investigating once the problem is frequently reported because they don't have staff around the country to do this kind of signals intelligence. If the OP lived in or near a major city, they would have more success because the FCC offices in major cities do have equipment to locate pirate signals and jammers, but again, I don't think they would respond to any single incident because they would never be able

Are cell phone signal jammers considered unlawful?

Image
This question may appear to be of great importance, yet the answer is rather uncomplicated and changes depending on the country. In brief, the prevailing stance in most countries is that cell phone jammers are illegal; however, in some regions, there are no defined regulations or official government communications on the matter. It is important to review various major countries that prohibit consumer access to cell phone signal jammers, with the exception of military applications. The jamming of cell phone signals is deemed illegal in the United States and is categorized as property theft under the Communications Act of 1934. To read more about this legislation, please visit the following link: Communications Act. The operation of any jamming device that disrupts authorized radio networks, including cellular frequencies, PCS, GPS, and police radar, is explicitly banned by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The FCC has indicated that cell phone signal jammers can impede
