A remotely actuated rupture disk can be ruptured upon the receipt of a predetermined signal. The disk can be placed in a port, thereby separating different pressure regions. For example, if the disk is placed in a downhole tool assembly, the disk might be used to isolate a specific chamber from the annular well pressure. An actuation signal can be transmitted down the well's annulus and is received by a receiver coupled to the rupture disk. The received signal is conditioned to trigger a destructive material which then ruptures the disk, connecting the two pressure regions.
