Welcome to the February 2017
issue of VTS Mobile World – your IEEE Vehicular Technology Society newsletter.
In this issue you will read an invitation from the newly launched IEEE 5G
Initiative; hear from one of the newly re-elected VTS Board members; learn
about new activities in standards; see the newly uploaded content to the
VTS Resource Center; plus, much more. I look forward to your feedback on how we
are doing and how we can better serve all VTS members in the future. Feel free to
