System and method for communicating externally from an electromagnetic interference suppressed volume
A data processing device includes an internal volume that is electromagnetic interference (EMI) isolated. The data processing device further includes an electromagnetic radiation (EMR) suppressing vent that defines one wall of the internal volume. The data processing device further includes a wireless system. The wireless system includes a first portion that is disposed in the internal volume. The first portion receives network data units from EMI emitting devices disposed in the internal volume and a second portion of the wireless system. The second portion is disposed outside of the internal volume and obtains the network data units from the first portion using a wireless connection that utilizes a transmission path that traverses through the EMR suppressing vent.
