1. A method for wireless communication at a device, the method comprising:
integrating a first conductive wire in an antenna glass ceramic housing piece of the device;
integrating a second conductive wire in a director glass ceramic housing piece of the device;
integrating a third conductive wire in the director glass ceramic housing piece on a side opposite the second conductive wire;
coupling the antenna glass ceramic housing piece and the director glass ceramic housing piece to each other to define a glass ceramic housing portion of the device having the second conductive wire aligned as a director for wireless signals transmitted from the first conductive wire;
interfacing a radio with the first conductive wire of the antenna glass ceramic housing piece;
interfacing a ground of the radio with the third conductive wire;
transmitting wireless signals from the radio through the first conductive wire of the antenna glass ceramic housing piece; and
directing the wireless signals with the second conductive wire of the director glass ceramic housing piece.
