1. A method for deploying a spatially distributed wireless communication network, the method comprising:
removing a plurality of electric lamps from a corresponding plurality of light sockets;
installing an integrated light/communicator module into each of the plurality of light sockets;
wherein each integrated light/communicator module is adapted to replace the replaced electric lamp in form, fit, and lighting function,
wherein each integrated light/communicator module is further adapted to wirelessly communicate with other integrated light/communicator modules by using a plurality of wireless communication network protocols,
wherein each integrated light/communicator module is further adapted to capture humidity with a humidity sensor for weather tracking,
wherein each integrated light/communicator module is further adapted to capture temperature with a temperature sensor for weather tracking, and
wherein each integrated light/communicator module includes a global positioning system (GPS) sensor adapted to determine its position in the spatially distributed wireless communication network.
