Mostly UHF although I think there are some sites using E band. If you hunt<br>
around 450 - 480 MHz on your scanner you'll find channels which are<br>
constantly transmitting (and some firing off intermittently) packets of<br>
data. These are generally sh*t pumping stations, water monitoring and so on.<br>
The Yagi in the photo you linked to is for D-band (450 MHz).<br>

They have a Vodafone sim card in them (and are one of the reasons <br>
Vodafone are still running 2G). There is an IR interface as well by the <br>
looks of it.<br>

It depends on the type of smart meter you have. Some are on the mobile<br>
network (2G was closed down from my understanding RS) and others are what we<br>
call "mesh" network and communicate between meters until they reach a<br>
transmission point.<br>

Vodafone are keeping 2G going till 2025, I have a few devices that still <br>
use it on a daily basis - 2degrees made the bad decision to kill off 2G.<br>
<br>
Didn't know we had those meters here, does anyone happen to have more <br>
info on those?<br>
