Background and current situation
In recent years, the phenomenon of abuse of mobile phones in parliaments or legislative councils has attracted widespread attention. In order to maintain the seriousness and confidentiality of the meeting, parliaments of various countries have taken measures to restrict the use of mobile phones by members in the meeting venue. In India, for example, the chief officials of the Legislative Council and Parliament ordered the guards to replace the old signal jammers with new models. These new devices can not only block GSM signals, but also interfere with 3G and 4G mobile phone signals, while the old models can only block 3G and 4G signals.
Reasons for equipment replacement
The decision to replace all signal jammer devices was made because the existing equipment could not counter the signal interference of 5G mobile phones. The parliamentary representative said, "The current jammers can only prevent 3G and 4G mobile phones from working, but 5G mobile phones can still be used normally." Therefore, replacing the jammer devices is imperative. Bopaiah and DH Shankaramurthy, spokesman and chairman of the board of directors, evaluated the efficiency of the signal jammers and quickly approved the request to purchase new jammer devices after confirming that the effect was satisfactory.
Misconduct of legislators
An important reason for this decision was the previous incident. Three MLAs were caught watching obscene content on their personal smartphones inside the meeting building. Such behavior seriously damaged the image and authority of the parliament, forcing officials to take stricter measures to manage the behavior of MLAs.
Security and privacy protection
To ensure the legal use of the new equipment, the parliament sought approval from senior police officers outside the Ministry of Communications and the International Bureau. These departments have the power to block phone operations during VIP visits and other important events. In the future, the number of portable jammer devices may be increased according to demand to cope with the changing communication technology.
Lessons for parliaments around the world
In any country, the legislature must operate in a rigorous and reliable manner. Misuse of mobile phones not only disrupts the normal conduct of meetings, but also may leak confidential information and undermine national security. Therefore, parliaments around the world should learn from India's practice and adopt advanced mobile phone jamming technology to ensure the smooth progress of meetings and the security of information.
Conclusion
With the development of technology, mobile phone signal jammer devices play an increasingly important role in maintaining meeting order and confidentiality. Whether in India or other countries, parliaments should attach importance to the application of this technical means to ensure the seriousness and efficiency of meetings.
