If… and it’s a big IF… the engineers have decided that your house is indeed one where you require a dual-band SMETS2 Gas Meter, (with 868MHz pseudo-Zigbee for the Home Area Network ) then the delays will not be solely due to lack of a gas meter.
Such an exchange would also require a replacement Communications Hub . Those belong to, and are supplied to OVO by, the Data Communications Company (DCC).
I mention this now because the remedy for your may not be solely within OVO’s sphere of influence. So few dual-band Communications Hubs for the Northern Territory will be required, that they will probably not be an off-the-shelf item.
