What is a WiFi Jammer and Why You Might Need One

A WiFi jammer might sound like something out of a movie, but someone might have one near you right now! Here’s what it is and why you might need one, too.

We live in a scary time if you are someone who values privacy. You no longer know who is looking at what you search and who they’re selling that information to.

With the advent of cell phones and drones, it has become difficult to even go outside without the potential existing that you are being filmed or watched.

Thankfully you’re not alone in your desire for security through privacy. In recent years, technology like a WiFi jammer, drone jammers, and cell phone jammers have hit the market.

Jammers are a signal blocking device which transmits synchronized radio waves at the same frequency as a device like a cell phone or drone in order to blur its signal.

Jammers are mainly used to render these devices useless and are being used by companies and individuals with increasing frequency. Today we’ll cover two of the most popular type of jammers that function for two unique purposes: WiFi jammers and drone jammers.

WiFi Jammer

These are favored by companies who deal with sensitive information to prevent leaks. The 5GHz WiFi jammer is effective up to 40 meters and will block WiFi and phone signals in a fixed space.

For something more mobile, the WiFi Mini Signal Blocker is small and much cheaper than the 5GHz. Designed to be carried around in your pocket, this WiFi jammer provides 10 meters of protection no matter where you are.

This jammer is effective if you are working with sensitive data away from work or your home, like a hotel or some other more public space. With up to two hours of battery life on full charge, it’s also ideal for people who feel more comfortable with a bit of a barrier between themselves and other people’s devices.

Drone Jammers

Laws surrounding where it is and is not legal to fly drones are notoriously vague.

In some areas of the country, it’s legal to fly over private property. And you never know what kind of equipment might be attached to these drones and you don’t know who is controlling them.

The only defense against these flying devices, aside from shooting them down, is with a drone jammer.

You have a few options of drone jammers based on what kind of features you are looking for.

The first is the ManPackUAV, which is ideal for those who want a portable jammer that will block most commercial drones. It works effectively strapped to your back if you want to be on the move and has a range of 400 to 1000 meters.

If you want a stationary drone that will work around the clock at a fixed location, like your home or work, TSJ UAV is the way to go. It is waterproof for effective outside use and boasts a range of 1000 to 3000 meters.

Jammers are bound to become more popular as the world we live in becomes more and more populated with remote devices that can transfer data to and from anywhere in the world.

It wouldn’t be a bad idea to get a head start and purchase your WiFi jammer today.
