Connector supporting integrated radio frequency and baseband data

A system, comprising:

• a computer comprising a package housing a computer processor, a memory, and a first connector coupled to the computer processor and to a first antenna;
• and
• an electronic device, comprising:
• a radio transceiver;
• a device processor;
• a device memory;
• a second connector comprising a first set of contacts, wherein the first set of contacts transmits a first radio frequency signal between the radio transceiver and the first connector, and a second set of contacts, wherein the second set of contacts transmits a baseband signal between the device processor and the first connector;
• and
• an application stored in the device memory that, when executed by the device processor, controls the radio transceiver based on the baseband signal received over the second set of contacts from the computer processor via the first connector, causes the radio transceiver to transmit the first radio frequency signal over the first set of contacts of the second connector to the first antenna, and causes the radio transceiver to receive the first radio frequency signal over the first set of contacts of the second connector from the first antenna via the first connector,
• wherein the package receives the electronic device in a recessed compartment.

An electronic device, comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory;
• a connector for coupling the electronic device to a computer, the connector comprising a first contactor and a second contactor, wherein the first and second contactors transmit a first radio frequency signal between a radio transceiver of the electronic device and an antenna of the computer, and the connector further comprising a third contactor, wherein the third contactor transmits a baseband signal between a processor of electronic device and the computer;
• and
• an application stored in the memory that, when executed by the processor, manages the generation of the first radio frequency signal based on the baseband signal received over the third contactor from the computer, causes the radio transceiver of the electronic device to transmit the first radio frequency signal over the first and second contactors to the antenna of the computer, and causes the radio transceiver of the electronic device to receive the first radio frequency signal over first and second contactors from the antenna of the computer.
