Are radio-frequency (RF) signals from Edison SmartConnect meters safe?
Yes. SCE’s smart metering devices communicate using low-power, wireless signals that are similar or weaker in strength than those created by common devices like cell phones or Wi-Fi networks. SCE’s meters and relays emit only a fraction of the power limits identified in the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines for safe RF exposure. The FCC developed these science-based safety guidelines in consultation with scientists, health and engineering experts and organizations like the National Council on Radiation Protection (NCRP), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
