Device installation systems, methods, and media for providing ubiquitous connectivity in outdoor environments are provided. In some embodiments, a device installation system comprises: a host connector that includes a controller, a host power subsystem, a host communication subsystem, and a lock; and a client connector that is connected to a client device and that is connected to the host connector, wherein the client connector includes a client power subsystem, a client communication subsystem, and a latch; wherein the host power subsystem is connected to a power source, the client power subsystem is charged by the host power subsystem of the host connector, and the client power subsystem transmits power to the client device; wherein the controller is configured to transmit a locking instruction to the lock that causes the lock of the host connector to actuate with the latch of the client connector; and wherein the client communication subsystem is configured to communicate with the client device such that data from the client device can be communicated over a communications network.

The subject disclosure provides a communications architecture for managing/relaying utility information, such as energy, water or gas information. In one aspect, the system includes a hub having a first communications interface for receiving consumption data of a predetermined energy load and a second communications interface for communicating with a metering device. The second communications interface is configured to transmit the consumption data to the metering device and to receive control signals from the metering device where the consumption data is communicated using a first protocol and wherein the control signals are communicated using a second protocol.
