Telecommunications Forum TELFOR

Telecommunications Forum TELFOR is the IEEE co-organized and co-supported international event. TELFOR is organized as an international regional annual meeting of those professionals working in the broad fields of Telecommunications and Information Technologies. The participants are mostly telecommunications engineers, but also the economists, jurists, managers, governmental officials, students, researchers, operators, service providers and others. TELFOR is the Forum in which all relevant aspects of Telecommunications and IT are discussed: subjects of technical nature, development, regulatory and economics matters, education, equipment, services and systems operation.

TELFOR regularly has a high number of participants, both individuals and companies from over 30 different countries. Several previous TELFORs were attended by around 1500 registered individual visitors and participants from all telecommunications’ segments. Typically, between 250 and 400 submitted or invited scientific papers, with 600-800 authors, were each year presented and published in the TELFOR CD Proceedings, in English or Serbian languages. Authors are from over 30 different countries from local region, Europe and world. More than 50% authors are out of Serbia.

Several dozens of participating international companies were in some way involved in TELFOR activities during the past years, among which there were the international telecommunications companies like Agilent, Alcatel-Lucent, Cisco, Ericsson, HP, Huawey, IBM, Intracom, Juniper, Microsoft, Motorola, Nokia, Rohde&Schwarz, Siemens, Teri Engineering, Oracle Communications, Roaming, etc., together with their local partners, as well as around 30 other domestic and international supporting organizations.

TELFOR is attended by everyone who in Serbia and in the local region has significant results and interest in the fields of TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY.

Given the very broad range of interests and activities that are represented at TELFOR, we have no doubt that many companies and institutions will find the scientific, economic, promotional and / or professional interest to participate or help the work of TELFOR.
