Whatever it is, it's an eyesore.

Unplug it, wait for someone to turn up to plug it back in, and ask them what its for :D Remember to wear a tinfoil hat and an "Aliens are real" tshirt :)

I hope they are Fiber access wireless AP's (PtP)for us rural people with ADSL or worse....yeah I know I'ma dreamer.

nickb800: Is this Canterbury? Wonder if it's for a smart meter network. Iirc there was a local company that made a mesh smart meter network, instead of connecting to a 3G network

I'm gonna double down and say it's part of the old Arc Innovations smart meter mesh network in Canterbury or Hawke's Bay. Basically they would put a single GRPS modem in one of these things in each neighbourhood, and all of the meters would report to it on their own RF network. Essentially a way to avoid the cost of a GRPS modem in every smart meter. Sounds like its on its way out, with metering providers preferring to put a 3G/4G modem in each meter, and not have to run their own mesh network.
