Cellular signal jammer for building

[markstanco 12577]

Anybody have any real world dealings with this?  Thinking of putting one on the production floor.  Every now and the floor manager will catch some employees using phones for texting, etc.  I found this: https://www.thesignaljammer.com/products/8-Band-Jammer.html

Any other brands worth looking at? 

[Lobwedgephil 1139]

Things that are illegal for $500 Alex. 

Might want to rethink this one. 

[markstanco 12577]

Really?  This would be placed on private property, not a public location.

Quote

In recent years, the number of websites offering “cell jammers” or similar devices designed to block communications and create a “quiet zone” in vehicles, schools, theaters, restaurants, and other places has increased substantially. While these devices are marketed under different names, such as signal blockers, GPS jammers, or text stoppers, they have the same purpose. We remind and warn consumers that it is a violation of federal law to use a cell jammer or similar devices that intentionally block, jam, or interfere with authorized radio communications such as cell phones, police radar, GPS, and Wi-Fi. Despite some marketers’ claims, consumers cannot legally use jammers within the United States, nor can retailers lawfully sell them.

I think that is just a suggestion.

Could you put something like AT&T's M-cell in place and make them log in to use personal lines?  Kind of like a private VPN but for phones?

Just build a metal building around your building. Boom, no signal; problem solved.

Give them all T-Mobile phones.

My rule is, if it's not a company phone, I better not see it in the warehouse.

Sounds like a policies and procedure issue not one for a technical solution.

this will work well based on personal experience

[Celery Man 20962]

it'll be like the triangle shirtwaist factory, but for twitter

[El Diablo 4232]

Twitter can go diaf.

Is illegal even in a private location.

[RockyMountainHighHorn 890]

I feel like certain Walmart do this...

Make them sign an agreement that using a personal cell phone during business hours is against company policy, if they are caught they will be fired for cause. Texas is a right to work state (a/k/a can be fired because you feel like it). If they refuse to sign, sayonara.

What you're referring to is that Texas is at will employment state, which means you can be fired for good cause, bad cause, or no cause, as long as it is not a discriminatory cause. "Right to work" refers to union membership. Just sayin'.

[RPM 26322]

I've heard RTW spun both ways. The obvious is the definition you gave, but it's been doubletalked to mean right to fire also. Politicians, man.

[woohorn 1131]

RTW is not correct term.

From google: "Texas is an “employment-at-will” state. Generally, employees without a written employment contract can be fired for good cause, bad cause, or no cause at all."

[woohorn 1131]

Yes. FCC controls airwaves even on pp.

 

The main beef the popo will have is 911, but FCC rules make jamming illegal.

[gyroprotagonist 2594]

they cannot even use cell phone jammers in prisons where it would make the most sense.
