I am guessing what he meant is they put the wireless gear on a seperate pole from the electrical. Being electric COOP its likely easy for them to drop poles in just for it. If you colocate on actual electric poles you must be so many feet below the high voltage lines. I think you must be certified for your person to come within so many feet of the high voltage as well.
