I don't know, but I know the trucks that do this meter readings, and they don't
slow down. There was even talk of trying to establish communications with
their service trucks when on route so they would not have to send a specific
meter reader out. The service trucks cover a lot of area, but I don't know the
details as to how often or how far they work.

I dunnow if these are going to be that type or transmit over the
power grid. For those that didn't know they can do internet over the power
lines they just have to put a jumper at every transformer to keep the signal
going. I'd be impressed if those readers worked fast enough to read with the
truck going 30mph. I assume they are using class 1 bluetooth for that as it has
a range of about 100 meters which is 10 times class 2 that cell phones have and
remote mice and keyboards have class 3 which is 1 meter. Bluetooth and WIFI
operate in the same freq range as well.
