Water meter wifi interference.

Has anyone else had this sort of interference. An intermittent connectivity or unexpected disconnections delays in connection and data transfer slow network speeds and poor signal strength. A maine advocacy group says about 250 people have complained about electronic interference from smart meters and says the utility must do a better. It used to perform without a problem.

The 425 000 installed smart meters all broadcast in the 2 4ghz frequency range. The wireless remote water meter is a new generation wireless smart water meter developed based on ultra long range and low power data transmission modules below 1 ghz. By converting the physical movement of water flow into the output of a digital signal even older mechanical meters are compatible with modern data logging and wireless communication systems. I understand the smart meter sends messages via it s own wi fi at this sort of time period.

Smart meters blamed for wi fi router traffic jam. About 200 customers of the central maine power company recently noticed something odd after the utility installed smart meters in their homes.
