Are cellular networks and smart meter devices reliable in the event of an emergency situation?
Yes. SmartSynch has engineered intelligence into its cellular network-compatible SmartMeters. The devices send an outage notification within 10 seconds of a loss of power. They retain 35 days of information in their memory and send a restoration notification when power to the device is restored. Most devices communicate with multiple towers providing built-in communication redundancy and communicate through a non-voice protocol, so voice saturations events have little or no effect on communication. Looking at prior natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina, cellular networks were fully operational within days.
