One thing that city people have a problem with is smart electricity meters doing their own mesh thing on the same frequency. There's so many of them that a lot of the time they drown out the polite little chatter of nodes. This is certainly the situation in the EU 868 MHz band.
Thats a good point. I didnt realize the EU had that potential issue.
Thankfully in our area its a different frequency altogether. No where near each other. But I have seen an air conditioner absolutely wreck an entire spectrum when its on. Just blasts everything in static. Its surprising what causes noise.
