Wireless signal jammer

Wireless signal jammer

Due the nature of the radio transmission the wireless LANs are very vulnerable against denial of service (DoS) attacks."Wireless signal Jamming (RF jamming) is one kind of DoS attack, and devices used for these kind of attacks are called Wireless signal Jammers. The low cost of manufacture of wireless signal jammers and their damaging effects has added to their popularity and frequent use. Advanced and more expensive versions can be used to jam satellite communications. Many governments (e.g., Europe, USA) legally prohibit the use of jammers, although, similar to weapons production, there is no legal frame to stop the production of this kind of equipment.

This kind of equipment can be used to enhance the security of WLan's by jamming the Wireless signals in a restricted geographical area.
