I was speaking with a friend regarding cellphone jamming, and a question was posed:
Suppose there is a piece of equipment that strictly follows all the relevant cellular protocol specs and can route 911 calls, but drops all other traffic. Is such a system illegal?
- FireBeyond 11y agoAt least civilly, if not criminally, yes, illegal - you don't hold a license for broadcasting on that spectrum.
- jlgaddis 11y agoI believe your device would need type acceptance by the FCC and, presumably, a valid license to transmit/operate on those frequencies. Otherwise, yes, it would be illegal. I don't have a citation/reference handy but, if memory serves, it is illegal (in the U.S.) to interfere with any cellular communications.
