About

Eli De Poorter is a leading researcher in wireless communication systems, with a primary focus on enabling robust, low-power connectivity for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and indoor localization. His major contributions center on bridging the gap between theoretical wireless protocols and real-world industrial deployment challenges. His highly cited 2020 survey on wireless technology trade-offs for IIoT (109 citations) provides a comprehensive framework for selecting and optimizing wireless sensor and actuator networks, addressing critical issues like cost, reliability, and coordination in harsh environments. De Poorter has also advanced indoor localization technologies, notably through his work on Time-of-Arrival solutions for challenging industrial settings (40 citations), where he tackles the limitations of GPS-denied environments. His innovative UWB-MAC protocol (13 citations) further demonstrates his impact by enabling ultra-low power anchor nodes for precise UWB localization, a key enabler for smart factories and autonomous systems. Through these contributions, De Poorter has established himself as a pivotal figure in making industrial wireless networks both practical and efficient.
