The CoaXPress interface and proposed draft standard was developed by the CoaXPress Consortium - a consortium of industrial companies consisting of Adimec, Eqcologic, Active Silicon, AVAL Data, NED and Components Express.

Following additional input from a variety of companies during the standardization process, the final draft became an official JIIA standard in January 2011. See the January 2011 Newsletter here and January 4, 2011 press release here.

Following a further three month appeal period, CoaXPress became a world standard in March 2011 - press release here.
