No. ComEd’s smart meter system will use a fast frequency-hopping radio that switches frequencies about every 50 milliseconds. The constant cycling of frequencies eliminates any interference between 900 MHz devices in the home and smart meters. Additionally, no cellular (mobile) phones use 902-928 MHz, the frequency band that will be used by the smart meters.
