Abstract
An apparatus with a communication system includes a method of operating the communication system. The communication system includes first device at a first location, a radio frequency transceiver at the first device, a waveguide extending between the first device to a second device at a second location, and a processor. The processor is configured to transmit a first radio frequency signal through the waveguide toward the second location, receive a second radio frequency signal in response to the first radio frequency signal, determine a presence of a fault in the waveguide from the second radio frequency signal, and transmit a third radio frequency signal via the radio frequency transceiver outside of the waveguide when the presence of the fault is determined.
