Frekvensblokker

Frekvensblokker, often translated as frequency blockers or jammers, are electronic devices designed to transmit radio signals on specific frequencies, preventing other devices from communicating on those same frequencies. They operate by emitting a powerful signal that overwhelms the receiver of the intended communication device, effectively creating interference. This interference can render the target device unusable for its intended purpose.

The primary function of frekvensblokker is to disrupt wireless communications. This can be for various reasons, including security, privacy, or to prevent unauthorized access. In some contexts, they are used to block mobile phone signals in sensitive areas like prisons or theaters. They can also be employed to disrupt surveillance equipment or other forms of wireless eavesdropping.

However, the use of frekvensblokker is heavily regulated in most countries. Unauthorized possession or operation of such devices is often illegal due to the potential for disruption of essential services, including emergency communications. The spectrum of radio frequencies is a shared resource, and deliberate interference can have significant negative consequences. There are strict legal frameworks governing their deployment and use, typically requiring specific licenses and authorization.
