Society Spotlight
IEEE Communications Society-
Connecting Engineers Who Connect the World
By Ricardo Veiga, Director, Membership Services Board, IEEE Communications Society
" The world would have been
different this past year without
the research, work, and
innovation driven by our members. " That's a simple
statement that shows the value of each contribution,
each opinion, each piece of research, and each piece
of technology our members helped create.
The IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc)
promotes technological innovation and fosters
creation and sharing of information among the global
technical community. But it's more than that.
We are called to communications technology. Our
reasons and regions may be widely different, but
our goal is the same: To advance communications
and networking technology for the betterment of
humanity. Our vision is to bring the world together in
harmony through communications and networking
technology research, application, education, and
incubation of new ideas.
Discover the Latest
Discover the latest breakthroughs, cutting-edge
information and research on communications
technologies with access to diverse ComSoc
magazines, journals and conferences.
Considered by many to be their most important
member benefit, IEEE Communications Magazine
serves as the industry's single most important source
of state-of-the-science communications information.
The latest issue of this monthly magazine covers
hot topics like the cover story, 5G for Verticals: From
Theory to Practice and Beyond, and has a series on
Mobile Communications and Networks.
Connect and Collaborate
Exceptional networking opportunities and over
200 local chapters worldwide allow members the
opportunity to connect, collaborate, learn, and
celebrate accomplishments. As an example, the
IEEE ComSoc Panama chapter recently celebrated
members who made outstanding contributions
in telecommunications in relation to COVID-19
recognizing them with two new awards.
In response to the pandemic, chapters successfully
pivoted to leverage networking and learning
opportunities by connecting with other local
chapters around the globe to offer leading-edge
technical education sessions delivered by renowned
communications technology experts via ComSoc's
virtual Distinguished Lecturer Program.
Learn & Get Ahead
World-class training, certification programs, and
technical committees offer the chance to advance
your career or education in communications by
staying on top of current communications technology
topics. Our school series is perfect for students and
Young Professionals to help kick-start the careers of
new professionals, Ph.D. candidates, and researchers
in wireless communications.
