Non-invasive communication apparatus and method

A non-invasive communication apparatus for a fixed structure fixed to the ground and comprising glass, the apparatus comprising:

• a power transfer coupler configured to wirelessly transfer power, via the glass of the fixed structure, to an external assembly configured to be mounted to an outside surface of the fixed structure, the power transfer coupler comprising:
• a substantially transparent transmit coil disposed on an inside surface of the glass;
• and
• a substantially transparent receive coil disposed on an outside surface of the glass adjacent the transmit coil;
• one or more information transfer couplers configured to wirelessly communicate information signals via the glass, each of the information transfer couplers comprising:
• a substantially transparent first coupler disposed on the inside surface of the glass;
• and
• a substantially transparent second coupler disposed on the outside surface of the glass adjacent the first coupler and coupled with the external assembly;
• and
• an inside assembly configured to be situated inside the fixed structure and coupled with the first coupler.
