1. A transmission device comprising:

  • at least one transceiver configured to modulate data to generate a plurality of first electromagnetic waves at non-optical frequencies in accordance with channel control parameters;

    a plurality of couplers configured to couple at least a portion of the plurality of first electromagnetic waves to a non-conductive transmission medium, wherein the plurality of couplers generates a plurality of second electromagnetic waves that propagates along the non-conductive transmission medium to communicate the data, wherein the at least one transceiver, when configured by the channel control parameters, mitigates a channel dispersion of the plurality of second electromagnetic waves that propagates longitudinally along the non-conductive transmission medium; and

    a training controller configured to generate the channel control parameters based on channel state information received via a plurality of third electromagnetic waves that propagates along the non-conductive transmission medium from at least one other transmission device that is remote from the transmission device, and wherein the at least one other transmission device is further configured to adapt the at least one transceiver based on the channel state information.
