Cell phone jammers also jam power utility wireless

My employer, Fiber Planners, has at least one power utility client that's reported interference to its' internal wireless communications system. Their system operates on other licensed frequencies, indicating that at least some of the jammers are not very discriminating.

This client spent several days investigating before they isolated the problem. Since the first occurrence, they've had a second, unrelated incident.

One jammer user was a strip joint that didn't want picture phone users sending pictures of dancers. The other was a church that didn't want interruptions.

Re: Cell phone jammers also jam power utility wire

If you have a communications system that is licensed by the FCC contact them immediately as interfering with licensed services is definitely a illegal - for any purposes. Even if you do it by accident - such as having a out-of-tune transmitter - they will come down on you like a ton of bricks.

A church that didn't want interruptions, you say?
TOO BAD!!! Post a notice that cell phones are not allowed.

In the case of the strip joint, there is a wider range of things they can do. They can post a notice at the entrance and just have bouncers eject the people caught & take legal action

Of course there are always exceptions, such as calling for help if someone is ill or emergencies like that but that's what cell phones are good for - emergencies, not creating a nuisance .
