The School of Electronics, Telecommunications, and Information Technology invites you to RadioFest 2026, an event dedicated to communications technologies and connectivity. Companies, institutions, researchers, student teams, and amateur radio operators come together to showcase equipment, prototypes, and hands-on demonstrations.
The event is aimed at high school and college students, teachers, professionals, and anyone curious to discover how the technologies that connect us work.

The schedule is subject to change. See the event's official page for updates.
Throughout the day, there will be Tours of the faculty's laboratories, departing at 10:00, 11:00, 12:00, 13:00, 14:00, and 15:00. The tracks will include labs on telecommunications, microwaves, integrated circuits, 3D printing, and audio engineering: an opportunity to see where study, experimentation, and research converge.
The exhibition offers you the opportunity to see the technology up close and talk directly with the people who develop and use it. The following will be on display at the booths:
Radar devices, 5G systems for detecting people based on the integration of communications and detection (ISAC), as well as solutions that use Wi-Fi signals to detect presence.
Antennas for connecting to satellites and point-to-point communication systems.
Fiber-optic systems and waveguides.
Drones and demonstrations of jamming systems.
Measuring equipment, spectrum analyzers, and vector network analyzers (VNAs), to see how radio signals and components are characterized.
ANCOM vehicles for the detection and monitoring of radio signals.
At the amateur radio booth, there will be demonstrations of shortwave reception and exploration of the radio spectrum using an SDR receiver accessible online. Visitors will be able to discover signals in the range of 10 kHz–30 MHz, radio communication methods and digital broadcasting, along with presentations on getting started in amateur radio and the activities of the ETTI Radio Club.
With the participation of Keysight, the booth will feature a spectrum analyzer, a vector network analyzer, and a transceiver with an external monitor. You'll be able to watch how measurements are taken and how the results are interpreted.
In the area of emergency communications, presentations are also being planned on a communications vehicle, the TETRA system, and options for interconnecting with amateur radio networks. These proposed activities, in collaboration with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, are to be finalized.
The topics and format of the ad hoc workshops will depend on the final layout of the booths and the participants' interests.
Specialists from DGPI will cover two essential areas for future telecommunications and IT professionals: cybersecurity and Protection of Classified Information – INFOSEC.
The workshop includes hands-on exercises. The following are available for these exercises: 50 access accounts, assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
A personal laptop is required for participating in the practical exercises.
Discover how people hundreds or thousands of kilometers apart can communicate via radio waves, and take your first steps into amateur radio:
The following have confirmed their participation in RadioFest 2026 ANCOM, BlueSpace Technology, the amateur radio community, Ericsson, the CAMPUS Research Institute (2SPACE, Geosense, Future Networks Lab, and the AMPLIPH lab), Intrarom, Keysight, the League of Electronics Students (LSE), the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MAI), Orange Romania, Rohde & Schwarz, and TechForge—ETTI’s robotics club.
