Dear colleagues,

On behalf of the 2026 Organizing Committee of Wireless and Optical Communications Conference (WOCC2026), we welcome you to the 35th WOCC conference on May 8th-9th 2026. The conference is hosted by New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT).

The main theme of WOCC 2026 is “Exploring Intelligent Communication Networks for the Smart World", highlighting the innovations, as well as, evolutions of wireless communications and optical transmission systems for challenging applications in the 5G and future 6G, which may integrate the Cyber World, Digital World, Artificial Intelligence systems and even biological systems. Applications providing intelligent experience for human society can be better achieved through THz spectrum, broader bandwidth, more ubiquitous network architecture and more efficient computing with strict reliability and delay requirements.

In the past two decades, WOCC has become one of the major conferences for telecommunications and networking professionals both in the U.S. and in the Asia-Pacific region, as well as, other regions of the world, presenting the latest innovations, discussing the emerging techniques, exchanging research ideas, and exploring frontier issues. WOCC 2026 will also feature high-quality plenary speeches, as well as, invited keynotes from prominent research and industry leaders.

We hope your participation in WOCC 2026 is a productive and rewarding experience and thank you for your involvement and contribution in making WOCC 2026 a successful event.
