True, but I was saying that because it’s about energy meters, not water meters.
There are many devices that use 2g for data, not just energy meters. ATMs, card payment terminals, alarms, gps trackers, all sorts of qpplications that don't need a lot of data and can benefit from the better coverage/range of 2g.
