WCITD 2010 - 3rd IFIP International Conference on Wireless Communications and Information Technology in Developing Countries

Wireless communications is a primary solution to delivering broadband services to rural communities. The theme of this symposium is on both new, innovative technical research as well as on the delivery of practical technical solutions in often harsh environments. We are inviting your contribution to one of the technical topics of WCITD 2010 and we welcome you to participate in the conference. Your contribution will go through the normal review process associated with a quality international conference.
