Well, this is our problem too cause we'd rather use something more efficient and pay for consumption precisely rather than by way of evaluation which is usually more expensive, aside from enjoying this of course 😃😃 and I can't count on the adjacent buildings, their tenants may be the same as...

May be, but there are some open-minded tenants too, so we are at least trying. Besides, I have natural curiosity, so it has been pretty educational.:smile: Thanks.

Thanks for your reply, but I am up against no one, and in fact things are a bit different. I did not say the residents oppose the meters. The meters have already been set up, and this is kind of the provider's fault they set up the meters without checking the reception at the basement. Anyway...

Well, this is not a legal forum, but I think nowhere in the world (except maybe some dictatorships, which we aren't) a power provider can force any equipment on the residents, and the law is the same for both educated and uneducated, so here we are...

That's the point. The provider is willing to pay, but the majority of the residents do not want the repeater because they afraid of the potential RF hazards.

This was definitely not my point, so if by "anti-smart meter crowd" and "strong opinions" you mean me, I think you should read the question again. Anyway, sounds a bit judgmental.

The power provider's workers definitely spend some time there reading the 30 meters.

Thanks for all the links, but this is not what the question was about. The concern is not about the smart meters themselves, they already exist in the building. The problem is they cannot transmit any data because of the low signal, they just stand idle. And to improve the signal, we need some...

That was the argument - that as a cell phone without reception emits higher levels of radiation, similarly 30 smart meters at the basement without any coverage, also emit more RF than they normally should.

I don't think I can get them. Anyway, there are about 30 meters that do not transmit anything, just "retry" and emit whatever RF, so that's the source of the concern. Thanks again for your help.

Because they constantly retry transmitting and thus they emit much more frequently. At least this was the tech dep's explanation.

It is argued that because of the low reception, the meters currently emit much more radiation than they normally would. True?

Thanks a lot for your help. So this is true that currently the meters emit higher levels of RF because of the low signal? Thanks again.

Hi All, Given: a residential building with smart meters set up on the underground level without any reception there. As a result, the meters cannot transmit any data. Therefore, as far as I understand, they emit much higher RF radiation, right? The solution offered to us is to set up a cell...
