What is This? They are Going up on Extra-Tall Utility Poles All Over the State

What is this?

I don't know what these are but they are installed every couple of miles around here. It is a big deal because an entirely new utility pole has to be installed which is at least 10 feet higher than the others.

That is weird. I have no idea what that is, but I think you are right to be concerned and call your utility company to find out what the hell that is. It is your right to know.

Probably some sort of microwave or radio relay device. The taller poles probably needed to get signal over curvature of the earth.

It’s a “collector unit” for electronic meters. Increasingly common across the country, devices like this one capture data from utility meters in nearby homes.

Go to https://postimages.org (you don’t even have to sign up unless you just want to keep access to images you’ve linked), select the image off your desktop or whatever folder on your computer you saved it into, click upload, then copy the hotlink for forums beginning in <a href then paste it into a reply.

It is part of the new and upcoming pay as you drive taxes coming, they are antennas that will track your speed and mileage, This way they can tax you easier for the miles you drive and they get the added benefit of sending you a Speeding Ticket if the antenna array clocks you going too fast, your first bill arrives in January

Google search found no other images matching the one you posted at imagur.

If that search had found one, it might have led to a site that noted what they were specifically.

I have not been able to find a matching picture on line either.

It’s a distributed antenna system (DAS) component for cell service.
