1. A plurality of layers of an ultra-high definition (UHD) high dynamic range (HDR) Internet Protocol (IP) client device, comprising:
a first layer of the plurality of layers, wherein the first layer comprises:
an off-board cabled Wi-Fi antenna cutout disposed at an upper left portion of the first layer;
a first antenna disposed opposite the off-board cabled Wi-Fi antenna cutout;
a single band decoupler disposed at or about a middle right portion of the first layer; and
a first high definition multimedia interface (HDMI) shield frame disposed at or about a bottom middle portion of the first layer, wherein the first HDMI shield frame surrounds all or a portion of a first HDMI routing;
a second layer of the plurality of layers, wherein the second layer comprises:
a ground disposed about the second layer at or about one or more free spaces;
a first dielectric layer of the plurality of layers disposed between the first layer and the second layer;
a third layer of the plurality of layers, wherein the third layer comprises:
one or more power planes disposed about one or more areas of the third layer;
a second dielectric layer of the plurality of layers disposed between the second layer and the third layer;
a fourth layer of the plurality of layers, wherein the fourth layer comprises:
one or more routed embedded multimedia card (eMMC) signals;
a third dielectric layer of the plurality of layers disposed between the third layer and the fourth layer;
a fifth layer of the plurality of layers, wherein the fifth layer comprises:
a ground plane disposed about the fifth layer;
a fourth dielectric layer of the plurality of layers disposed between the fourth layer and the fifth layer;
a sixth layer of the plurality of layers, wherein the sixth layer comprises:
a shield frame disposed at or about a center portion of the sixth layer, wherein the shield frame surrounds all or a portion of one or traces associated with one or more components;
a front end module (FEM) shield frame disposed at or about a middle right portion of the sixth layer, wherein the FEM shield frame surrounds all or a portion of an FEM routing;
a Bluetooth switch shield disposed at or about a bottom right portion of the sixth layer, wherein the Bluetooth switch shield surrounds all or a portion of a Bluetooth switch routing;
a second HDMI shield frame disposed at or about a bottom middle portion of the sixth layer, wherein the second HDMI shield frame surrounds all or a portion of a second HDMI routing; and
a second antenna disposed at or about a bottom right portion of the sixth layer, wherein the second antenna is at an opposition portion from the first antenna; and
a fifth dielectric layer of the plurality of layers disposed between the fifth layer and the sixth layer.
