1. A wellbore servicing system comprising: a controller node disposed within a wellbore, wherein the controller node is connected to one or more components located at a surface of the wellbore via a wired connection; anda second node configured for release into the wellbore and movement through the wellbore in response to movement of fluid through the wellbore;wherein the second node communicates with the controller node via a near field communication (NFC) signal,wherein the controller node is configured to communicate a command signal to the second node effective to cause the second node to begin outputting an electromagnetic signal transmission, and wherein the second node continues to output the electromagnetic signal transmission after the second node has moved past and out of NFC signal range with the controller node. 2. The wellbore servicing system of claim 1, wherein the controller node is incorporated within a tubular string in the wellbore. 3. The wellbore servicing system of claim 1, further comprising one or more additional controller nodes disposed within the wellbore. 4. The wellbore servicing system of claim 3, wherein each controller node is configured to communicate with only a particular second node. 5. The wellbore servicing system of claim 1, wherein the controller node is configured to send information via the NFC signal and to receive information via the NFC signal. 6. The wellbore servicing system of claim 1, wherein the second node is configured to send information via the NFC signal and to receive information via the NFC signal. 7. The wellbore servicing system of claim 1, wherein the second node is a ball or dart. 8. The wellbore servicing system of claim 1, wherein the second node comprises a second controller node for communicating control signals to one or more tool nodes positioned within the wellbore downhole from the controller node, wherein the command signal is effective to cause the second controller node to begin outputting the electromagnetic signal transmission, wherein the electromagnetic transmission comprises the control signals for communication to the one or more tool nodes. 9. The wellbore servicing system of claim 8, wherein the control signals are effective to cause the one or more tool nodes to actuate between an open and closed position, wherein in the open position the one or more tool nodes allow a route of fluid communication to a subterranean formation, and wherein in the closed position the one or more tool nodes prevent a route of fluid communication to the subterranean formation. 10. The wellbore servicing system of claim 1, wherein the second node comprises a logging node for receiving or retrieving downhole measurements. 11. The wellbore servicing system of claim 1, wherein the command signal is effective to increment a counter, decrement a counter, transition the second node between a low-power “sleep” mode and a transmitting “awake” mode, output an electrical signal, start or stop a timer, or combinations thereof. 12. The wellbore servicing system of claim 1, wherein the command signal is effective to activate the second node, to program instructions into the second node, to convert the second node from a passive target to an active initiator, or combinations thereof. 13. The wellbore servicing system of claim 12, wherein the command signal is effective to convert the second node from a passive target to an active initiator, wherein as the passive target the second node communicates with the controller node via NFC signals communicated through an RF field generated by the controller node and not by the second node, and wherein as an active initiator the second node generates an RF field through which NFC signals can be communicated between the second node to a third node. 14. A wellbore servicing method comprising: positioning a controller node within a wellbore;releasing and moving a second node through the wellbore in response to movement of fluid through the wellbore such that the second node comes into communication with the controller node, wherein the second node communicates with the controller node via a near field communication (NFC) signal;obtaining an identity of the second node at the controller node via communication between the controller node and the second node;determining a command signal to communicate to the second node via the controller node based on the identity of the second node; andcommunicating the command signal from the controller node to the second node, the command signal being effective to cause the second node to begin outputting an electromagnetic signal transmission, and wherein the second node continues to output the electromagnetic signal transmission after the second node has moved past and out of NFC signal range with the controller node. 15. The wellbore servicing method of claim 14, further comprising communicating the command signal to the second node based on a counted total number of other nodes that have previously been communicated through the wellbore in response to movement of fluid through the wellbore past the controller node. 16. The wellbore servicing method of claim 14, further comprising: receiving or retrieving data from the second node at the controller node; andcommunicating the data to a surface of the wellbore via a wired connection between the controller node and the surface. 17. The wellbore servicing method of claim 14, wherein the command signal is effective to cause the second node to begin outputting the electromagnetic transmission by transitioning the second node from a low-power mode to an awakened mode. 18. The wellbore servicing method of claim 14, wherein the command signal is effective to program instructions into the second node.
