Authorities Have Removed Mobile Phone Jammers from Various School Premises
The principal of a high school in Salzburg wanted to use a jammer to prevent cheating with a mobile phone during written Mathura, and the Ministry of Communications' Telecommunications Office confiscated the transmitter and filed a lawsuit against the principal. He bought the device completely legally from a school supplies supplier in Sankt Pölten. The procedure ended with a warning. Gerhard Klampfer, dean of the Salzburg School of Economics, confirmed the radio report of the Salzburg ORF to APA on Monday.
Procedure ends with warning - principal's report
In teaching, the information here is often photographed, "Klampfer said in an interview. And it's useless to collect mobile phones: "They take two mobile phones, give them to the teacher, and keep their own smartphones. "So he bought this cell phone jammer for about 350 euros and placed it in a conspicuous place next to the toilet at the end of high school. As a result, the signal could not be received within a radius of about 10 meters.
A network operator claims to have noticed this disruption and informed the authorities. "This is the official version. Since only the building itself was disturbed, I doubt that someone had reported the interference," the rector said. Two employees of the telecommunications office arrived with large tracking equipment, found the signal jammers and confiscated it, "causing a big commotion."
How the medical school entrance exam interfered with mobile phones
The lawsuit was soon launched and the school rector was questioned on June 17, 2011. He made it clear that he had purchased the transmitter legally from a school supply company. "I'm not the only one who bought this equipment, I'm just the only one who got caught." Krampfer eventually suffered a loss: he was warned for violating the Telecommunications Act. Paragraph 74 states that the authorities may only use jammers when it comes to public safety, defense, national security or criminal justice tasks. The maximum fine is 4,000 euros.
This meant that the rector was exempt from disciplinary action. The jammer was returned to the school, but Krampfer had to agree not to use it again. Nevertheless, he was still puzzled by the fact that, as far as he knew, mobile phones sometimes did not work during university entrance exams, such as at the medical school. "I don't know how they did it. "
