MANILA, Philippines — The 4G technology can locate the source of a vote, a government official on Monday assured, allaying fears that a vote’s source may be “untraceable.”The Commission on Elections (Comelec) earlier gave Smartmatic the award for the transmission of votes from 3G to 4G as it would be faster. “We know that 4G is much faster as compared to 3G. “And with 4G, we can confidently say that yes, it can still be determined kasi meron naman pong, let’s say may IP (internet protocol) address ‘yung source. (And with 4G, we can confidently say that yes, it can still be determined because there is an IP address for the source. “With all the tests being done by the technology provider, as witnessed by Comelec, wala naman pong (there is no) serious impediment with the shift from the 3G to 4G technology,” he said.
