ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area Smart Meter Extension Ring??

These antennas are pretty far apart, about a quarter mile as far as I can tell.
I will look around the next time I am driving around in my golf cart and see how many I can spot. So far I only know of 2 in my neighborhood but there may be some I have not seen.
The last time I talked to my line man buddy, he did not know much about them. That was right about the time they installed them tho. Maybe he knows more about them. A different crew does this.

Cell Relay Smart Meter

There you go!
I guess I was looking for the wrong thing. I imagine there are some fat meters scattered around the neighborhood

twh:

That is the most informative link to information that I have seen in a long, long time.

Thank You!!!

Yeah, I've gotta chuckle at the scatterbrains that think an RF signal is gonna roast their gonads! Wonder how many years they sat in front of a cathode ray tube pointed at their head and it never bothered them! Hah! Wonder what kind of meltdown they would have if they could actually hear the PLC signals like i can in the house!
I Still gleaned a lot of info from that write-up and some of the other links about the system. Thanks TWH
Just for reference, I figured out the extension on my meter is a Cooper PRT-850 http://www.cooperindustries.com/con...stems/CPS_PowerLineCarrier_CCU721_PR.pdf
& The Meter appears to be an Itron Centron https://www.itron.com/na/technology/product-services-catalog/products/0/7/5/centron
