Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, detecting an issue associated with data communications between a first node and a second node of a distributed communications system, wherein the issue is related to a change in a condition between the first node and the second node. Locations of the first and second nodes are determined. An intermediary node is identified, based on the locations of the first and second nodes and the detecting of the issue, wherein equipment of the intermediary node is operable to engage in wireless communications with the first and second nodes, and a redirection of data communications is facilitated between the first and second nodes responsive to the detecting of the issue. The redirection of the data communications places the equipment of the intermediary node in communications between the first node and the second node. Other embodiments are disclosed.
