==History==
Prof. Yihong Qi and Dr. Fred Yu founded MERCKU in Canada’s Waterloo technology hub in 2017, with a strong focus on hardware. To add software development capabilities, Mercku merged with the media-tech company Haiku, and thus joined forces with Alex Qi, Blake Jin, Ge Shi, and Ruini Xue, who now are the leading executives in the company.
At the time of inception of the company, the founders developed the first generation of a Wi-Fi router, called the M1, which was primarily sold to China Telecom Corp. Ltd. 
In 2018, Mercku launched the second-generation Wi-Fi system, called the M2, which is a mesh Wi-Fi system. Since then, the company is servicing internet service providers globally to provide these Wi-Fi systems to businesses and households (Delaney, 2019). 
After the introduction of the M2 mesh Wi-Fi system, Mercku started working on new wireless technologies and systems, such as wireless biosensing, the M3, and indoor positioning, which are all expected to release during 2020.
