Itron Openway Cell Relay (Collector) in Michigan<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Here is a collector meter located on the corner of Haines and Farnsworth Road in Lapeer, Michigan<\/strong>. Notice how it is almost twice as thick as a regular smart meter. Collector meters collect data from numerous other smart meters. They can be mounted on homes or businesses, or, like the one here, an a utility box. They are receiving more signals than other meters and so being near one can be even more detrimental to your health than being in the vicinity of a regular smart meter.
