2026 2nd International Conference on Wireless and Optical Communications (CWOC 2026) will be held from March 20th to 22nd, 2026 in Chengdu, China. CWOC 2026 proceedings will be published by SPIE, which will be archived in the SPIE Digital Library, and indexed by Ei Compendex, Scopus, and Web of Science (CPCI-S). 

Wireless and optical communications technologies are often found on the same cellular communications tower, supporting modern communications using different wavelengths. Communications have relied on signals propagating through the air from the earliest drumbeats. Wireless communications technologies make effective use of that signal transport medium even as the appetite for more and faster voice, video, and data grows. Still, light has been another long-time form of communications, literally “as far as the eye could see,” and optical communications has advanced at a pace equal to or exceeding the evolution of wireless communications. The technologies are much different, but each has its place, its strengths, and its weaknesses. Wireless communications relies on the transmission and reception of RF/microwave signals modulated with the information to be carried while optical communications uses modulated light beamed through fiber-optic cables.

The main objective is to create an effective platform for researchers, and technical experts to share recent ideas, innovations, and problem-solving techniques in the vast areas of Wireless and Optical Communications. Another goal is to promote the transformation of fundamental research into institutional and industrialized research and to convert applied exploration into real time application. It will be an excellent opportunity for both researchers and industrial communities to meet, discuss, and share their research outcomes. Prospective authors are invited to submit their original technical papers for presentation at the conference and publications in the conference proceedings.
