SiConnect
SiConnect was a powerline communications technology business that built low-cost, high performance broadband modem silicon using its proprietary POEM technology. It is most notable now for contributing its Arbitration-Determined Multiplexing technology to the IEEE P1901 draft specification for co-existence between disparate powerline technologies.
==Company History==
SiConnect was founded in 2004 by Trevor Sokell, a communications technology veteran. SiConnect was a reboot of nSine, a powerline communications technology developer founded in 1999 but which failed to secure refinancing in 2002 during the economic recession at the time. SiConnect took nSine's core technology, productised it as the PLT050 integrated circuit, branded the technology as "POEM" (a contraction of "Powerline Empowered"), and standardized it within IEEE's P1901 working group. SiConnect operated a standard fabless semiconductor business model. It was registered in England and Wales with registration number 05029159.
The company was privately held and funded by three technology-focussed early-stage venture capital funds. Following a change of strategy by the lead investor, the business was put up for sale in early 2008 just as first revenues from the PLT050 began to flow. The PLT050 delivered the same application-level performance as Intellon's HomePlug Turbo silicon but at the cheaper price point of HomePlug 1.0 silicon. Its major market was in China, where the domestic market could not afford the pricing of the more complex HomePlug designs. SiConnect's sales and marketing management team created a joint venture with its largest Chinese customer - Vigoole - which then purchased the SiConnect business. The company's operations were moved to Shenzhen and renamed as Poem Technology. During the sales process, SiConnect's sales and marketing leadership attempted an MBO based around the company's first sales pipeline (the investors not having already put one together for the sales process) and a restructured business plan for the next generation of powerline product.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher= Electronics Weekly )〕 The existing investors were unable to provide the capital required for the buyout, and the sale to Vigoole completed later in 2008.
