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.

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

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

Each meter has it’s own ip address. That is a wireless transceiver to send and receive data to and from your meters and control relay inside.

Small Cell / Microcell / Picocell / Outdoor Distributed Antenna System (oDAS)

IOW, municipal WiFi or cellular.

Be happy they look so clean on your poles. There is a big effort underway to clean up antenna infrastructure.

Just a guess: a microphone. Several of them alert authorities if there is a gun shot and then, after some triangulation, a location is determined. Drones can quickly investigate.
