Expandable architecture and bus for consumer gateway

Abstract

The embodiments include a stackable computing device that includes an integrated heatsink and antenna structure and a housing structure. The housing structure includes a housing casing that surrounds the integrated heatsink and antenna structure. The integrated heatsink and antenna structure includes a heatsink base and one or more radio frequency (RF) antenna portions. The heatsink base includes a connector port that provides an interface between components of the computing device and other computing or peripheral devices. For example, the heatsink base may include platform that is configured to have circuitry fixedly secured on a first side of the platform with a connector of the circuitry aligned with an aperture of the connector port such that a connection to the circuitry is accepted by circuitry of another computing device.
