So we just need better than -45 dBm at every site. No problem!!

The smart meters we are familiar with use the entire 900 MHz band. So
how friendly they are depends on the local density of smart meters,
and how close you are to the hubs. The closer the hub, the worse the
interference because of the way they mesh with each other. All the
meters surrounding the hub become relays for all the ones that can't
talk directly to the hub. When we were in an area near a hub, the
noise floor was in the -60 to -65 zone. Pretty much unusable.
The meters use a dinky omni that is mostly blocked behind the meter,
but they transmit at a full watt. Pretty much spew in almost every
direction.
Good luck, but it ain't going to be pretty.

It would be nice if Cambium could share with us how well 900Mhz 450i
+ Smart meters play together.
Smart Meters are scheduled to be installed any minute in our service
area. There is also a large growing base of them just a few miles
from Cambium's office.
We have enough issues with SCADA, baby monitors, ect already.
Licensed multipoint solutions are looking so much nicer.

We have smart meters coming in 2017 so the band is about to be
destroyed worse than it already is.
