Abstract
In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides a system of integrated roofing accessories on a plurality of roofs, where at least one integrated roofing accessory on each roof may include: i) at least one transceiver configured to produce electromagnetic communication signals using electromagnetic communication protocols, ii) at least one dielectric antenna in electrical communication with the at least one transceiver for emitting the electromagnetic communication signals according to the at least one electromagnetic communication protocol, iii) an edge computing device having at least one processor and at least one non-transitory storage with software to operate the edge computing device in communication with the at least one transceiver, and iv) at least one power supply. The software is configured to cause, when executed, the integrated roofing accessories to form an electromagnetic communication network using the electromagnetic communication signals which communicates with at least one computing device.
