I'm wondering if anybody knows what the antenna (and seemingly accompanying hardware) on this telephone pole is.

Thank you in advance!

According to this google groups answer

"It's actually for the power company system with new technology, every customer will get a new automated meter, equipped with a network radio. The radio transmits meter readings to the access points, housed on the electric pole. This is the access point."
