The prison department started the testing of new jammers

The prison department started the testing of new jammers
The prison department made a start the checking of the secret gadgets, which should switch off the cell phones of the prisoners. If the engineers manage to succeed, the jails will be kept out of cell phone network, while other mobile phone users won’t be involved.
One of the biggest problems in jails is an illegal usage of mobile phones. It is known that the convicts are banned in having a mobile. However, the prisoners still use them, although 1000’s of mobiles are withdrawn from the convicts each year. There were even cases when the prisoners tried to reach the Russian Government via cell phones. Just recently, one jailer contacted the members of the Security Committee, and requested them to examine his complaint more detailed.
The chief of prison authorities specified that this situation is not actually the engineering difficulty but the problem with legal system, so such incidents start sometimes. As the FSIN director suggested, an unexpect stern note of warning began from the special departments, which are responsible for the phone communication when the so-called mobile phone jammers were used in some colonies. The commanders were threatened with the administrative responsibility for breaking the mobile phone communications.
It is problematic to make use of such gadgets in the megapolicies, the problem is that the normal residents suffer from the lack of stable communication. There were some attempts to state the suitable device in the jails some years ago, but it led to a public scandal, because the phones quited working not only in the jails, but also in the neighboring houses.
Other equipment is tested in Vladimir. According to the engineers, it doesn’t interrupt the telephone communication, but it discloses the mobile phones even if those mobiles are turned off. So the mobile phones can no longer be put away. If this equipment is successful, all jails will be supplied with those devices.

GPS jammers illegality

In connection with the strengthening of GPS positions for expanding the scope of its application, not long ago the U. S. Security services had the goal of combating with the dissemination of GPS disablers (applications that interrupt the work of GPS-devices) for the securing of various services. This idea seemed to be exelent assuring Google to restrict the Web searching of GPS disablers, according to Bob Brewin, the lead editor of nextgov.com, this concept worked at least for some time.
On the 7th of April a main developer, who had been examining the GNSS problems for many years, was effacted with the quantity of references in his blog, which Google found on request “GPS jammer” (GPS jamming signal). Brewin immediately connected with the guys from Google. They reported that “The GPS-jammers’ references are contrary to the company policy, which bans advertising of hacking and some appropriate technology”, and that they will remove the problem. Indeed, the searching on request “GPS jammer” have no effect in the evening. But on request “GPS jammer” with note “Shopping” Google found 3 advertising references on the GPS-jammers’ sites.
And there was a large amount of pages about those jammers in other SE. In Feb, during the conference British expert David Last said how he reached 185 thousands links on this request. The amount of GPS-interrupters’ sites increased by fifty per cent just in a month. The limitation of search of the exact phrase “gps jammer” by Google will take away about 106000 references – but it is a small relief.

Speaking about the program ERA GLONASS, he noticed that “there will begin to function the similar system which is based on GPS / Galileo in Europe in 2012”. “Here it is also said about a dual-standart receiver – GLONASS / GPS. It is anticipated that the cars which are going to be in Russia, that they are equipped with these gadgets on the conveyor “-said he.
Replying to the question according to the competition of the American GPS and the Russian-developed system, Vladimir Klimov said: “SBS had systematically been developing about 20 years, but the Russian system – only 8 years.” “But at the hardware level we are already closing to the GPS – about the sizes of receivers, the power and the color characteristics. And soon the Western companies will make the double-system equipment GLONASS / GPS,” – noted he.

And these temperatures are used for checking the stress-strain distribution of the building structures. The security systems of gas-processing is about to have a high percentage of sales. In addition, the project company will carry out the production of microsystems which is the steady to the hard environmental conditions.
The originator and co-investor of the project is the St. Petersburg corporation “Avangard” and it plans to provide “the intellectual property in the patents, the know-hows and in the units of design and technological documentation”. The sponsors think to attract the experts from lots of Russian scientific centers, above all – from the Kotelnikov’s Institute of Radio Engineering and Electronics, in order that they participate in working on the new models of micros.
According to the experts, the world market’s extend of sensors and microchips was about $ fifty one billion in 2008. According to expectations if the growth rate is approximately 5 % per annum, the extend will be about $ 67 billion in 2018.
