Claim:
1. A system-in-a-package implemented in a printer, the system-in-a-package comprising: a first printed circuit board to be mounted within the printer, wherein the first printed circuit board comprises a first layer, a second layer, a laminate layer and an encasement, wherein the laminate layer comprises a plurality of vias and is disposed between the first layer and the second layer, wherein the laminate layer electrically connects the first layer to the second layer through use of vias, and wherein the encasement is to cover the first layer; a receiver to (i) receive a first radio frequency signal wirelessly transmitted to the printer from a network device, and (ii) generate a first baseband signal based on the first radio frequency signal; a processor to generate a second baseband signal based on the first baseband signal; a baseband module to generate a data signal based on the first baseband signal; an image module to process the data signal to implement physical printing via a print mechanism; and a transmitter to (i) generate a second radio frequency signal based on the second baseband signal, and (ii) transmit the second radio frequency signal from the system-in-a-package to the network device, wherein the receiver, the processor, the baseband module, the image module and the transmitter are implemented on the first layer, and the second layer is mounted on a second printed circuit board within the printer, a first solder mask is disposed between the (i) the receiver, the processor, the baseband module, the image module and the transmitter, and (ii) the first layer; and a second solder mask is disposed between the second layer and solder balls.
