1. A system comprising:
a network of nodes;
a controller operable to communicate with the network of nodes through one or more electromagnetic signals;
a plurality of waveguides configured to guide transmission of the one or more electromagnetic signals;
a radio frequency transceiver configured to establish communication between the controller and a first waveguide of the plurality of waveguides; and
a membrane configured to support communication between the first waveguide and at least one node of the plurality of nodes.
