6th South American Conference on Radio and Optical Wireless Communications. A meeting point for researchers, developers and industry working on visible light communication, free-space optics and next-generation wireless networks — organized under the CIMTT, Universidad de Santiago de Chile.
SACROWC brings together contributions across optical networks, wireless and mobile communications, signal processing, next-generation networking, AI/ML for networking, and quantum communications.
SACROWC 2027 continues the SACVLC/SACROWC series, bringing together researchers, students and industry to present and discuss new results in radio and optical wireless communications — from visible light communication and free-space optics to next-generation wireless networks. The programme includes keynote and invited talks from leading researchers in the field, alongside peer-reviewed paper presentations submitted for publication in IEEE Xplore.
\documentclass[conference,a4paper]{IEEEtran} as the first line.First submissions don't need an IEEE PDF eXpress check — only accepted papers do, before camera-ready.
Not needed for the first draft. Once your paper is reviewed and accepted, follow the camera-ready procedure the committee will send after the review deadline — this includes choosing your membership type, registering, and completing payment.
Registration categories and fees for 2027 will be published once confirmed with IEEE and IEEE ComSoc.

The South American Conference on Radio and Optical Wireless Communications (SACROWC — formerly SACVLC) brings together researchers, software and hardware developers to share results in visible light communication, free space optical (FSO) and hybrid radio/optical wireless systems.
Organized under the Multidisciplinary Research Centre for Telecommunications Technologies (CIMTT), Universidad de Santiago de Chile, in partnership with laboratories and research centres across Europe and South America. Papers accepted for presentation are submitted for publication in IEEE Xplore, with technical sponsorship from IEEE and IEEE ComSoc.
