I wonder what effect would happen if a powerful magnet was placed near it? PT

The antenna is omnidirectional because of this. It has a high poll rate plus it's event activated traffic. E.g. If someone goes to the toilet at night and uses the light. Or when high current draw. Devices are used such As irons, toasters and kettles. This would be used for analytics in a data warehouse by the utilities company. They also have zigbee radio connectivity so that new devices can provide detailed on their operation which would then be used by the utilities company. I have done some work on this as I have worked in healthcare. On 18 Oct 2011, at 19:16, Marshall <[email protected]> wrote: Electromagnetic radiation drops off to the square of the distance. Thus if you are 10 feet from your meter, and 100 feet from the neighbor's, you will receive 100 times as much radiation from yours than your neighbors. That assumes that the antenna is omnidirectional. If the antenna is directional, or they are using the wiring as the antenna, all bets are off.

If the energy from these meters travels for 5 miles, then we would need to shield from everyone's meters and that doesn't seem possible. But it is quite possible that I don't understand the situation. :) If the energy goes out from everyones meter, does it go just in one direction or all around? Seems to me that we need to know this before any strategy can be devised for protection. My house has one of these things. Scary. pj No virus found in this message.
