The magazine Elektronik, the German Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers' Association (ZVEI) and the organizers of the electronica show are again (for the fifth time now) staging the Wireless Congress: Systems & Applications on November 12/13 this year in Munich parallel to the electronica show in the ICM congress center close to the fairground. Suggestions for technical papers and workshops may be submitted until June 6.

As in the four earlier events, this year's Wireless Congress – Systems & Applications will again be an international platform aimed at developers, system designers, technology decision-makers, project managers and wireless system authorities. The congress and its accompanying show will illuminate all technical aspects of today's and tomorrow's wireless technologies, primarily for industrial use, and also offer insight into current applications, safety aspects, certification and qualification problems, test & measurement know-how, standards plus market opportunities.

Focal themes of the half-hour papers and two-hours workshops:

• Wireless Automation and M2M: Components, Modules, Systems
• Embedded Wireless: Applications and Trends
• Wireless-Sensors and Wireless Sensor Networks
• UWB: Technology and Applications
• SRD-/ISM-Radio: Industrial Applications
