My beef with utilities is insted of using unlicensed spectrum use a band
that make sense for this like 220Mhz which is widely available in most
rural areas. One license would take care of our county and it would be
your channel completely free of pissed off wisp and baby monitors lol.
I almost consider utilities public safety which has free rain of all
sorts of licensed spectrum that would cover their needs.
I am even thinking the cambium long reach product would fit the bill in
most case for Water utilities.

+1 Same experience here. Occasionally they will run software updates
that broadcasts out to about 200 kbps to each meter. It will bring
your 900 AP's to a crawl. We've coordinated the schedule of meter
updates with the power company to perform between 2-4am. Thankfully
they only run updates once or twice a year. Aside from that, it's
hardly noticeable.

Yes actually,
The power company around here just installed 900 MHz smart meters
and what we saw was during the first few weeks when they turned it
on and they were doing software updates there were some
significant modulation issues, although data did still pass.
After the software updates were done we are not seeing any impact
from just a random data polling.
We had communications with the power company to confirm all of this.

Does anyone have any quick and dirty sets of documents discussing
experiences they’ve had with 900mhz smart meters, noise
associated, and any other data points?
