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, the waveguide system comprising a dielectric coupler positioned with respect to a transmission medium, the dielectric coupler facilitating transmission of first electromagnetic waves that propagate along the dielectric coupler without requiring an electrical circuit, the first electromagnetic waves coupling to the transmission medium, thereby forming second electromagnetic waves, and the second electromagnetic waves being directed to an antenna to transmit first wireless signals;

    detecting from the telemetry information a condition adverse to the propagation of the second electromagnetic waves along the transmission medium,wherein the condition adversely affects the transmission of the first wireless signals by the antenna.
