About ComSoc SCV

    The IEEE Communications Society promotes the advancement of science, technology and applications in communications and related disciplines. The Santa Clara Valley chapter (ComSoc SCV) is a very active chapter which holds monthly meetings (usually in the TI auditorium on the second Wednesday of each month) on topics relating to communcation systems. The chapter also hosts and sponsors other events including workshops and field trips.
In 2013 ComSoc SCV was voted
“Best IEEE Chapter in the Santa Clara Valley Section”

    ComSoc SCV is run by a small and intrepid band of (unpaid) volunteers. We are always looking for more help — time and effort (from individuals) and financial (from corporate sponsors). Please contact us if you'd like to help.

December 31st, 1969 Dr. John Kenney (Session 2 Keynote) Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) is an emerging ad hoc networking technology that connects vehicles to each other and to the world. The US Department of Transportation plans to require DSRC equipment in new cars within a few years. This vehicle-to-anything (V2X) technology will not only make driving safer, but will also open the door to exciting new applications that can leverage the connected car. This talk will introduce DSRC and discuss some of the many DSRC applications and use cases that are under development.
