You should offer to run their telemetry for them. Get it merged into the
rest of your 3650 stuff.
BTW - We've had smart meters here for 3-4 years or so (maybe longer, I
forget). The meter at my house is still the old style because (1) it is
too far for it to mesh, and (2) every time they come to install it, I
ask the tech if they've figured out how to lock out specific channels
because I won't allow it to interfere with our equipment.
They always say they will check, and they never do. Mexican standoff. YMMV.

Got a 1/2 dozen or so APs deployed. 50-60 customers on them. A couple
of the POPs are in an area where Commonwealth Edison will be turning
up their first smart meter deployment in our area. Probably by the end
of the year. It's all FHSS. So I guess we'll see what happens. This is
where we have difficulty even with 900 because of the tree density.
I'm wondering how well their shit is going to work. Hopefully not at
all with our channels in the mix, then they just give up. No, probably
not. They'll just keep adding nodes on the poles until it limps along.
And on top of this, ComEd is shitting all over 3650 as well. They'll
put up three 120's of Siemens/RuggedCom WiMax at 300+ feet on the
towers at main stations just to link a couple sub-stations. So there's
none, one or maybe 2 CPEs per sector. Idiots. They were running 10MHz,
then dropped to 7MHz, and now I guess they've settled on 5MHz. I said,
hmm, for your little telemetry data, why don't you go down to 3.5MHz.
No? OK, GFYS.
