Same here. Competitor on 900, Power co-op used some 900 but ended up going with turtle meters (basically X10 built into the meter) and has data links from all the sub-stations. I am going to give Ubnt 900 a go, for those "I need it, I do not care how it works" clients who have no location options for a relay. Right now we try and pull all the sat net setups and move them out to the boonies, then figure out how to get to them asap.
