Participation at the 12TH FOKUS FUSECO Forum - Forward to 6G!
2024-11-07 - 2024-11-08 | Berlin, Berlin, Germany
Forward to 6G!
Understanding 5G Evolution Driven by Open Campus Networks, 6G RAN, Core Network Evolution, Non-terrestrial Networks and Data-/AI-based Networking

In the middle of 6G research and development and still, within the pre-standardization phase, we are happy to welcome old and new friends from all over the world to our institute in Berlin again.
In its role as an internationally recognized industry-oriented event, the FUSECO Forum mirrors the lessons learned from global public and private 5G network deployments and 5G evolution research and standardization, while at the same time, we can witness increasing interest in private industrial campus network deployments and industries preparing to become ready for the 6G age.

Together we will discuss the new momentum in international standardization and building up new ecosystems sparked by the latest innovations in the fields of Open RAN, sub THz Radio Systems, Non-Terrestrial Networks, Network Automation, AI/ML, Open Source Toolkits, as well as new envisaged 6G use cases demanding a critical assessment of emerging 6G technologies and architectures.
The call for speakers and partners is now open. We look forward to your contribution to our tutorials, workshops, conference, and demonstrations.

5th IEEE International Symposium on Joint Communications & Sensing - January 28 - 30, 2025 - In Finland & Streaming Worldwide
2025-01-28 - 2025-01-30
Website: https://jcns-symposium.org/
The integration of communication and radio sensing in the same spectrum is likely to be one of the key features in B5G wireless systems. A joint design of both services will improve the efficiency of spectrum usage, and will offer the opportunity of providing radar as a service, just like communications today. Recent advances in mmWave communications, massive MIMO and machine learning, among others, are making this vision possible, but many technical challenges still remain, from hardware up to the application layer. Therefore, Joint Communications and Sensing (JC&S) is the subject of rapidly growing interest in the research community, and this symposium will focus on the different system and implementation aspects of this promising new approach, bringing together academic and industrial experts from both the radar and communications research communities.
We look forward to welcoming you in Finland in 2025. For those unable to attend, all sessions will also be streamed online and recordings will be available after the event.

IPIN 2025 15th International Conference on Indoor Positioning and Indoor Navigation 15-18 September 2025, Tampere, Finland
2025-09-15 - 2025-09-18
The fiftenth edition of the International Conference on Indoor Positioning and Indoor Navigation is taking place in Tampere Hall , Yliopistonkatu 55, Tampere, Finland. Launched in 2010 in Zurich, Switzerland, IPIN is a unique event entirely dedicated to indoor localisation, its applications and its development.
The last fifteen years have seen enormous technical progress in this field, yet, in contrast with outdoors well-established GNSS solutions, no technology still exists cheap and accurate enough for the general market. The potential applications of indoor localisation are all-encompassing, from home to wide public areas, from IoT and personal devices to surveillance and crowd behaviour applications, from casual use to mission-critical systems.
Join the +300 expected industrial and academic experts in computer science, electronics and surveying to address this challenge. Discuss in person scientific and industrial matters, and witness state-of-the-art systems and methods, including the uniquely challenging IPIN competition. Profit from the social events to establish personal contacts in a relaxed atmosphere.

Aim & Scope

The 2025 IEEE Radar Conference will be held in Krakow, Poland, for the first time, jointly sponsored by the Aerospace & Electronic Systems Society (AESS), the IEEE Poland Section, and the Polish Joint Chapter AP/AES/MTT. The 2025 conference will focus on joint radar and communications involving the latest radar technologies through plenary talks, special sessions, tutorials, and the radar boot camp.
Original papers describing significant advances in radar technologies, systems, applications, and techniques are sought. Prospective authors should prepare a 4-6 page full paper (including figures) using the IEEE format.
Krakow, also spelt Cracow, one of the largest cities in Poland, is known primarily for its grand historic architecture and cultural leadership. With thousands of historic buildings and sites dotting the city, Krakow’s old town is worth special attention and consideration (on the UNESCO World Heritage list since 1978). Its medieval marketplace, Rynek Glowny (the Main Square), has existed since the 13th century and is a true gem.
We look forward to welcoming you to Krakow,
