The 4
th West Asian Symposium on Optical and Millimeter-Wave Wireless Communications (WASOWC2022) will be hosted at the University of Tabriz, Iran. City of Tabriz with a population of 1.6 million is one of the historical capitals of Iran and the
present provincial capital of East Azerbaijan, Iran. WASOWC2022 brings together researchers from academia and industry to discuss and share new research and developments in the field of optical & millimeter-wave wireless technologies within
the context of the 5th and 6th generation and beyond wireless networks. As in the previous events, the 4th Symposium will also include workshops/tutorials, keynote/invited speakers, as well as oral presentation. If you wish to organise
workshops/tutorials, please contact us and we would be very happy to assist.
Depending on the COVID-19 situation the event may be held in person/online, or just online. Further information on this will be announced on the WASOWC 2022 website.
