1. An electronics enclosure, comprising:
at least one panel with a non-conductive surface;
at least one electronic circuit;
at least one internal near field induction encoder/decoder coupled to the at least one electronic circuit;
at least one internal transformer core partition placed on an internal side of the at least one panel, the at least one internal transformer core forming part of a near field induction port; and
wherein the at least one internal transformer core partition is adapted to communicate with an external transformer core partition, when present, to form the near field induction port for data transfer between the at least one electronic circuit and an external device.
