Wireless Rural and Emergency Communications Conference – WRECOM 2007
Wireless Rural and Emergency Communications Conference – WRECOM 2007 is a conference devoted to wireless technology addressing social aspects in terms of using it as a tool helping to solve the digital divide issue and to protect citizens. The conference will be held in Rome – jointly organized by the University of Rome Tor Vergata and the IEEE Communications Society - on October 1-2, 2007, and will focus on the broad area of wireless broadband communications to deliver services to rural communities, to provide emergency communications in cases of disaster and in general terms, to support public safety services. Ad-hoc and wireless sensor networks are specific topics to be addressed. Other matters include Ultra Wide Band, satellite systems – for communication and broadcasting, high altitude platforms, GPS & Galileo applications, location-aware radio techniques - ,WiFi, WiMAX, Hiperlan, as well as mobile networks based on cellular, TETRA standard and other Public Mobile Radio standards able to provide advanced services and communication infrastructures. As a matter of fact, special attention will be devoted to low cost, easy-to-install and maintain networks and to all key technologies able to provide broadband Internet access to people anywhere. On Sunday, September 30, a series of tutorial sessions will be delivered by academia and industry leaders. To learn more visit www.wrecom.org
International Symposium on Wireless Communications Systems - ISWCS 2007
International Symposium on Wireless Communications Systems - ISWCS 2007. The event will be held on 17-19 October in Trondheim – Norway and will be devoted to the broad area of mobile wireless communications. Special attention will be paid to issues concerning the path towards the realization of ambient wireless communications systems with the goal to identify both future technical challenges and business opportunities. A variety of topics are envisaged including wireless sensor networks, ad-hoc and mesh networks, as well as RFID and UWB among many others. More information at www.iswcs.org/iswcs2007.
IEEE/AFCEA Military Communications Conference – MILCOM 2007
IEEE/AFCEA Military Communications Conference – MILCOM 2007. On 29-31 October 2007 a conference will be held in Orlando - Florida US devoted to defence and communications technology where technical papers, exhibits and demos will be presented. The conference is organized by the IEEE jointly with AFCEA (Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association). The goal is to deliver insight on the communications, information technologies, and capabilities that address challenges related to national defence, homeland security, disaster response and interoperability. Sensor networks is one of the areas of interest. The coverage is large and comprehensive – interoperability, network management, radio systems and technologies, digital signal processing, Internet protocols, space networks and protocols, mobile satellite systems, antennas, Ultra Wide Band, laser communications, and optical networks are some of them.
