Indeed - check out some of his work here, quite a few patents in transmission technology and networking:

To put what I'm saying in a bit more context, my guess is that Calmel was working in small teams in a research facility at Nortel, basically inventing better ways of doing stuff. John MacFarlane had already built a massively successful software company and the merger with Phone.com was in the billions. He basically assembled a team of ex-software people to launch Sonos.
