Cell Phones in Israeli Prisons – Useless for Terrorists

Cell Phones in Israeli Prisons – Useless for Terrorists

This post is also available in: heעברית (Hebrew)

The Israeli prison service decided to install cell phone jammers in two prisons that are used for holding Palestinian terrorists.

Sources said today that this decision had to be made years ago. The flow of cell phones to these prisons could have never been stopped and jamming is the only way.

The Prison Jammer manages the problem of illegal cell phones in a prison or government facility.

The solutions differ in operation and design. Some Prison Jammers work to block off large areas in a building to stop cell phone calls. These Prison Jammers consist of active or reactive cell phone jammers that are installed in a pre-determined pattern.

Other Prison Jammers may be set up in a fixed design to radiate RF interference and defeat any attempt to use a mobile phone service provider’s network to make or receive calls. This would involve stationary rack-mounted RF jamming telemetry.

In spite of all efforts to stop the flow of cell phones to these prisons they are found again and again in searches.

The jamming systems will block totally the use of cell phones by the inmates.

The sources said that the cell phones are used for coordinating terror acts.
