1. A system, comprising:

  • a transceiver configured to generate a first electromagnetic signal conveying first data; and

    a coupler configured to generate, responsive to the first electromagnetic signal, a first electromagnetic wave along a surface of a transmission medium, wherein the first electromagnetic wave is within a non-optical frequency band, wherein the first electromagnetic wave propagates via a cylindrical scattering wave mode along the surface of the transmission medium without requiring an electrical return path.
