Identify Mesh Networks

 

BC Hydro says that 2000 smart meters can be served by a Single collector antenna.

There will be approximately 1,800 collectors installed across BC

Cisco launches smart grid field area networking, architecture services and a network management system to manage it all.   

BC Hydro will be Cisco’s first NMS customer, rolling it out to manage a Cisco-Itron FAN/smart meter system meant to connect 1.9 million meters and thousands of other grid “endpoints” by the end of 2012.

“The Itron-Cisco partnership was a real game changer,” said Gary Murphy, BC Hydro’s chief project officer for the Smart Metering Program. “The ability to leverage our infrastructure with Itron’s smart grid solution and Cisco’s Connected Grid networking and security capabilities is a great stepping stone into smart grid. We will be able to leverage it for years to come.”

 

Note : ITRON Routers ( Two antennas ) were replaced in August 2012 with Cisco 1000 series Routers which can have up to Eight antennas. Most BC Hydro Cisco Routers currently have Four Antennas

  1. We live at #214-469 Lampson St. Victoria , B.C. , there are 2 apartment buildings on this lot with smart meters, itron centron 3G using open way . approx 35 meters per building .In our unit there is a continuous buzz/ hum 24/7, sleeping in here is unbearable, with loud sound in ear and electromagnetic EMF field in apartment interfering with ability to fall asleep , jolts your brain out of sleep.. And there is a pulsing , surging noise + a crawling feeling felt on legs , back & head.. I believe that our apartment must be over a receiver transmitter , because the electrical field in here is very strong.. We are just over front entrance to building, there is a box affixed to a support beam at front entrance with a T on it BC Hydro are not transparent with full disclosure of the location of the various parts to the smart meter grid. Thankyou

  2. What are mesh networks?

    Is there a way to find out where 5G is being tested? I know it is being tested near me at UBC but I can’t find out where the small cells are located.

    thanks
