1. A first optical routing device, comprising:
a mounting component;
a memory configured to store optical path options, wherein the optical path options are different fall-back laser-link options available to the first optical routing device to establish a laser beam connectivity; and
an optical routing component attached to the mounting component, wherein the mounting component comprises:
a rechargeable battery configured to power operations of the first optical routing device; and
a processor configured to:
communicate over-the-air with one of a master communication device or one or more service communication devices via one or more radio frequency (RF) supervisory links;
receive an instruction via the one or more RF supervisory links to control a movement of the mounting component along with the optical routing component, wherein the instruction corresponds to a change in one of an angle or a direction of deflection of one or more laser beams from the optical routing component; and
perform a range measurement to compute a distance between the first optical routing device and an optical node, wherein the optical node is one of a second optical routing device, the master communication device, or one of the one or more service communication devices.
