This has correspondingly lead to the development and manufacture of jammers like Bluetooth jammers, Wi-Fi and wireless video jammers among others. Now, even satellites can be jammed; you only need to have high-tech and sophisticated types of signal jammers to do so.

The only time signal jammers will have a difficult time of interfering device signals is if your electronic devices is in good working condition. The government is also using these signal jammers and they regulate its use, and the only use for their signal jammers is for interfering with cellular phone communication lines.

The only time that signal jammers can cause health risks is if you use the bigger ones like outdoor signal stations.

The cellular phone jammer is the most common signal jammer available. When the signal jammer blocks the radio waves, the cell phone is prevented from receiving them from the base station. Signal jammers cover a distance from 10 meters to one kilometer.

The GPS signal jammer is another commonly used jammer. The military uses GPS jammers in order to confuse GPS tracking locations. It is not possible to make homemade GPS signal jammers. For people who do not want the GPS receiver to know their location and that of their vehicle, they use the GPS signal jammer. Civilian GPS jammers are only good up to ten meters.

A Bluetooth jammer is usually integrated with a multi-functional jammers which jams wi-fi and video. These jammers can interfere and disable wireless LAN, Bluetooth devices, and video transmitting for privacy.

These signal jammers are relatively low priced and this is the reason why it has gained popularity and is used repeatedly.
