G’day from Down Under! The IEEE Australian Capital Territory ComSoc Chapter is nestled in Canberra, the capital of Australia. The majority of ComSoc members work/study at Universities or work for State or Australian Government agencies. The IEEE ACT Section is a very small section with fewer than 500 members, and we are constantly proactive in membership development activities. On 16 April 2025, we held our first membership drive of the year at the University of Canberra.
The “6G NearField Technologies White Paper 2.0” was officially released at the 2025 Global 6G Technology and Industry Ecosystem Conference (formerly the Global 6G Technology Conference). Building upon the industry’s first white paper on near-field technologies published in April 2024, the second edition substantially expands the discussion on the research and standardization of near-field technologies, offering strategic insights to support the 3GPP’s 6G standardization study initiative, which is expected to commence in June 2025.
