Wim Sweldens is a Belgian American business leader, scientist, and inventor notable for innovations in communications and signal processing technology.
[2] At telecommunications firm Alcatel-Lucent in New Jersey, he led development of new cell tower technology called lightRadio which reduces the size of transmission equipment dramatically.
[3] The equipment uses only basic electrical power and can be placed indoors and linked to optical fiber cables;[4] it enables mobile networks to operate with much less electricity, halving CO2 emissions and reducing the carbon footprint,[5] and permitting cell phone service to reach more people over expanded geographic areas.
[8][9][10] Kiswe's multi view technology allows end users to live choose their favorite camera angle of an event.
Sweldens holds 28 US patents[15] and has received prestigious awards, including the MIT TR35 in 1999[16] and the Leslie Fox Prize for Numerical Analysis.
