IEEE WCNC is the premier wireless event for wireless communications researchers, industry professionals, and academics interested in the latest development and design of wireless systems and networks. Sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society, IEEE WCNC has a long history of bringing together industry, academia, and regulatory bodies. In 2008, IEEE WCNC will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, co-located with CTIA WIRELESS 2008 (the world's largest wireless show).
IEEE WCNC 2008 registrants will have free admission to the CTIA exhibit floor.
