IEEE Wireless Africa 2019 is sponsored by the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society and will be hosted at the University of Pretoria, Pretoria, South Africa, from 18 to 20 August 2019.
The conference aims to provide a platform for wireless researchers to share their results, call for comments and collaborations, and exchange innovative ideas on leading edge research in wireless technologies.
