1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising;
receiving telemetry information from a waveguide system coupled to a sensor, wherein the waveguide system comprises a waveguide positioned with respect to a wire of a power grid that facilitates delivery of electric energy to devices, and wherein the waveguide facilitates transmission or reception of electromagnetic waves along a wire surface of the wire, and wherein the sensor facilitates sensing conditions adverse to the transmission or reception of the electromagnetic waves along the wire surface;
detecting from the telemetry information a condition that is adverse to one of operations of the waveguide system, or the transmission or the reception of the electromagnetic waves along the wire surface; and
generating information associated with the condition that is detected from the telemetry information; and
facilitating access to or delivery of the information for reporting.

Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a system for receiving telemetry information from an apparatus that induces electromagnetic waves on a wire surface of a wire of a power grid for delivery of communication signals to a recipient communication device coupled to the power grid, and detecting a condition from the telemetry information that is adverse to a delivery of the communication signals to the recipient communication device. Other embodiments are disclosed.

14. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, by a network element comprising a processor, telemetry information from a waveguide system, wherein the waveguide system facilitates transmission of electromagnetic waves along a wire surface of a first wire of a power grid and sensing of characteristics associated with conditions adverse to the transmission of the electromagnetic waves, and wherein the telemetry information comprises sensing data; determining, by the network element, a condition from the sensing data; and transmitting, by the network element, instructions to the waveguide system to adjust a route of the electromagnetic waves to avoid the condition. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)
