History
The history of Corinex closely correlates with the history of AnyWireTM connectivity solutions which distribute 200Mbps IP signals over electrical wiring and coaxial cables, in buildings, homes, and over electrical power grids. Corinex started with a 384kB Powerline product based on an Inari chipset in 2000, and was the first to introduce a 14Mbps product based on an Intellon chipset in 2001. A 200Mbps product was introduced by Corinex in January of 2005. The same 200Mbps Powerline product was used as an In-home solution by Telefonica later that year for the deployment of an IPTV home entertainment and communications package in Telefonica’s Imagenio program -the first use of PLC technology for IPTV deployment. Corinex entered the BPL access market in 2006 with large scale deployment of BLP access technology at Center Point Energy for 10,000 electric meters. The system integrator of the project was IBM.

Upon Corinex’ 2006 introduction of PLC technology to the retail market, the company received three Best of RetailVision awards. In October of 2006 Corinex Communications Corp., along with Deutsche Telekom AG, Ericsson AB, JDSU, Tellabs and select others became one of the International Engineering Consortium Info Vision Finalists for the Best Access Product. At this time, the Corinex MV Access Gateway was the first and only 200Mbps Powerline product shipping in volume to have been granted FCC Class 15G certification (FCC ID: QIU-CXP-MVA-GWY).

In 2007 Corinex introduced the only BPL-GPON (Gigabit-capable Passive Optical Network) in the industry, for which it was named the 2008 Broadband World Forum Finalist in Hong Kong.

The first electric meter with Powerline module in the industry was also introduced by Corinex in 2007, and consequently won the UTC Telecom Best AMI Platform Award.

Corinex ranked 21st in the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Award in 2007. A year later, it ranked 70th in North America in the 2008 Deloitte Technology Fast 500 becoming the sixth fastest growing technological company in Canada.

Corinex’ technological leadership is reflected by the company’s business success which has been awarded with the Growth Industry Leadership Award as well as the Best Practices – BPL Award by Frost & Sullivan in 2007.

The description of Corinex’ use of BPL in Powerline technology can be found in standard BPL literature but can be summarized as follows:
