The Federal Penitentiary Service is preparing an application for frequencies to implement cellular "jammers" in all its institutions. But it is still necessary to solve the problem of interference that the use of such devices in city prisons can create for operator networks.

the main body that deals algeria cell phone number list with the distribution of this resource in Russia) will consider the issue of the use of communication jammers by institutions of the Federal Penitentiary Service (FSIN) of Russia at a meeting in late December. This follows from the materials for the meeting, which RBC has reviewed (their authenticity has been confirmed by several participants in the telecommunications market).

The materials do not specify what specific devices are being discussed. There are two types of communication "jammers": noise generators (block public communications in a certain range) and radio signal blockers (a special base station that does not allow making or receiving calls, with the exception of numbers included in a special list). The State Commission on Radio Frequencies plans to make a protocol entry on the results of the implementation of the commission's order from July of this year (this decision was to form a working group of representatives of interested departments, the Federal Penitentiary Service and mobile operators in order to eliminate interference for other operating radio-electronic equipment). The Federal Penitentiary Service must also ensure the preparation of an application for radio frequencies for blockers in the first quarter of 2023, agreed upon with the Ministry of Defense. The documents do not explain what frequencies the Federal Penitentiary Service will have to request for blockers and for what objects.

According to one of RBC's sources familiar with the SCRF agenda, the issue of using blockers in the FSIN has been under consideration for several years and is still controversial, since these devices interfere with the operation of mobile operators' and military communications. "The task is to find a mechanism that would allow us to take everyone into account, which is quite difficult," this source noted.
