cell phone jammer


Have you been in situations where, forget cell phone etiquette even basic courtesy is not present in people. Whats worse is that you could be in a movie theatre or a play or Opera and just because of that single person who refuses to cut his conversation short or move out to let others enjoy the show, making everyone suffer. When polite "shoos" or "quiet pleases" are simply ignored, you know its time to take matters into your own hands. Much as you would like to just grab his cell phone and throw it out the door, it would probably mean that you end the night with police. What is really required are some covert super powers.

It would be just perfect if you had a portable tiny cell phone jammer which would cause every cell phone in a small area to be unable to catch the network. Its not just honest to god wishing that I am doing here, but telling you folks about an electronic device which is very much available in Japan. Just recently released, the "Portable Director II" does all this and more. Able to operate in a region of 3 metres, the device shuts down or rather jams all the cell phones in its vicinity. There are two types of methods that you can use, one is the conitnous operation in which the device constantly jams all cell phones while the other is the battery saving timer mode. This one jams cell phones for 70 seconds and then goes off , restarting on its on after some time. The miny device, has a size of 47 x 61 x 13 mm and a weight of 20 grams.
Since the device is available only in Japan at this point, the manufacturer has only mentioned baout the neworks that it can jam over there. However it seems very versatile and can be easily adapted to the networks of the country in which it is supposed to be sold. eg: NTT_DOCOMO (800MHz), FOMA (2gHz), VodaFone (1. 5gHz) etc. Even if the device is kept constantly on, it can jam cell phones for 4 hours at a stretch, more then enough to last the movie that you so desperately want to see uninterrupted.
