Growth is not a word seen often in electronics circles lately, but the willingness of these two large organizations to collaborate points to the future engineering needs in the mobile broadband area. MCPC now numbers 166 members, including top mobile network operators, information processing firms, mobile device manufacturers, and system integrators, while the IEEE’s ComSoc is a leading educator of engineers worldwide. For many high-frequency electronic firms struggling to find opportunities outside of the military area, this teaming of two powerful organizations is a sign for which to give thanks.
