New GPS gadget

Mobile Mark (Illinois, USA) proposes a decision for those who are not eager to display the use of GPS devices in the automobiles. The company developed an antenna, placed within the truck’s license plate. In such a way, they were successful in achieving a quality signal processing and also they took account of the interests of those who like to use this gadget secretly. At the same time, this antenna will be helpful for those who wish to join various antennas of a number of different wireless transmitters.
This plastic frame of the antenna near the car’s numberplate does not differ exteriorly from the normal box, but inside of such an equipment is accommodated with several antennas, which let to organize the synchronous functioning of GPS, Wi-Fi, WiMAX and telecom equipments. The box with antennas can be located into the cars and trucks.
Those antennas consist of GPS, GSM broadcasting and Wi-Fi modules.
Options of these antennas:
GPS: 5 dBi;
Waves (850 and 1900 MHz): 2,5 dBi;
Wi-Fi (2,4 and 5 GHz): 2,5 dBi.
At the same time the firm consider the elaboration of such equipments with a television antenna.

The prison department started the testing of new jammers

The prison department made a start the examining of the secret devices, which should switch off the mobiles of the convicts. 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 issues in jails is an illegal communication. It is known that the convicts are banned in having a telephone. At the same time, the jailers still use them, although thousands of cell phones are taken from the convicts each year. There were even cases when the jailers attemped to contact the Russian Government via cell phones. Just lately, one convict contacted the members of the Security Committee, and asked them to check his complaint more carefully.
The leader of prison authorities noticed that this problem is not because of engineering difficulties, but because of laws and regulations, so such incidents appear sometimes. As the FSIN leader suggested, an immediate stern prevention came from the special departments, which are liable for the phone communication when the so-called mobile blockers were used in some colonies. The commanders were threatened with the administrative amenability for breaking the mobile phone waves.
It’s difficult to consume such blockers in the megapolicies, because the normal residents suffer unstable broadcasting. There were some efforts to fix the suitable device in the jails some years ago, but it led to a public scandal, because the cell phones quited operating not only in the jails, but also in the neighboring districts.
Other gadget is checked in Vladimir. According to the engineers, it doesn't block the telephone communication, but it finds the cell phones even if those mobiles are switched off. So the mobiles can no longer be put away. If this device is successful, all jails will be supplied with those gizmos.

GPS jammers illegality

Due to the reinforcement of GPS positions because of expanding the scope of its application, recently the United States security services had the goal of fighting with the extension of GPS blockers (applications that stop the work of GPS-based devices) for the support of various services. This idea seemed to be admirable convincing Google to limit the Internet searching of GPS disablers, according to Bob Brewin, the main designer of nextgov.com, this concept worked at least for some time.
On the seventh of April a main developer, who had been examining the GNSS problems for many years, was impressed with the amount of links in his blog, which Google showed on request "GPS jammer" (GPS jamming signal). Brewin immediately connected with the guys from Google. They told him that "The GPS-jammers’ links contradict to the company policy, which forbits advertising of hacking and some suitable technology", and that they will remove the problem. Indeed, the search on request "GPS jammer" have no effect in the evening. But on request "GPS jammer" with note "Shopping" Google found three ads on the GPS-jammers’ sites.
And there were lots of pages about those blockers in other SE. In February, during the conference British expert David Last mentioned how he received 185 thousands links on this request. The number of GPS-jammers’ sites increased by 50% just in a month. The limitation of search of the exact phrase "gps jammer" by Google will remove approximately 106000 references – but it is a poor relief.

GLONASS/GPS tracking

The cars, made in Russia are going to be equipped with the double-system receivers GLONASS/GPS on the conveyor – reported the administrative minister of the “GLONASS / GNSS – Forum” association, Vladimir Klimov, granting an interview the Izvestia newspaper. According to him, within the ERA GLONASS project, each car will be fixed with the gadget, "which if it is needful in case of accident, it will post a alarm or a voice message in the center of traffic.
"So, the accidents and their exact locations would be fixed, and the subsequent troubles with traffic, too. And, of course, this information will help to react on the situation, rendering the assistance," –said Klimov.
Saying about the program ERA GLONASS, he noticed that "there will start the similar system which is based on GPS / Galileo in Europe in 2012”. "Here it is also said about a double-system receiver - GLONASS / GPS. It is anticipated that the cars which are going to be in Russia, that they are equipped with these devices on the conveyor “-said he.
Replying to the question about the competition of the GPS from America and the national system GLONASS, Vladimir Klimov said: "SBS had systematically been developing about 20 years, but the company GLONASS - only eight 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.
