Smart meters run on a very slow 900Mhz mesh network. I can see them frequency hopping on the waterfall graph using my Airspy SDR. Its really only fast enough to send bursts of customer usage to the main node. What it did allow them to do is fire a lot of employees who read meters.
They won't waste the meters they installed in your home for nothing.
Now, when I figure out how to recover the spreading sequence, I will be able to read all the meters in my vicinity!
