GoKawiilFCC to vote on allowing state prisons to use cellphone jammers
The FCC announced it will vote at its November 19 open meeting on a rule letting state and local prisons opt in to using cellphone jammers to block inmates' unauthorized phone use. Facilities choosing to use the technology would need to show jamming doesn't interfere with signals outside designated areas, and federal prisons that have tested 'micro-jamming' since 2018 would get a formal pathway to continue.
