1. A surveying system comprising:
- a processing system that includes a processor;
a guided wave transceiver that transmits and receives communications by electromagnetic waves at a physical interface of a transmission medium, wherein the electromagnetic waves are guided by the transmission medium and propagate without requiring an electrical return path; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising;
receiving a first plurality of the electromagnetic waves via the guided wave transceiver that include first environmental data collected via a plurality of sensors at a plurality of remote sites; and
generating weather pattern data based on the first environmental data;
receiving a second plurality of the electromagnetic waves via the guided wave transceiver that includes first Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) data collected via a plurality of UAV sensors at the plurality of remote sites; and
generating UAV traffic pattern data based on the first UAV data.
