OUR STORY Reinventing the most fundamental building block of electronic systems. Legacy Limitations The electromechanical relay hasn’t experienced any significant innovation in the past 50+ years. As a result, the size, weight, cost, and performance of systems that use traditional relays has suffered due to serious limitations. It has seriously hindered the system designer’s ability to create highly integrated, high performance, and reliable products ranging from battery chargers to medical equipment to industrial controls and electric vehicles. The Holy Grail The leading innovator in RF MEMS switch design and fabrication, Menlo Micro has lifted these limitations by developing unique materials, designs, and processing techniques to create the Ideal Switch. The Ideal Switch operates up to 1000x faster than a typical mechanical relay, can handle kilowatts of power and is built in a structure smaller than a human hair. The unique materials allow for the creation of products that can operate for decades of life under high-stress conditions. It Changes Everything Menlo Micro’s Ideal Switch platform is a game-changer, with a market opportunity of more than $20 billion. It has the potential to serve multiple industries, including next generation 5G mobile networks, industrial IoT markets, battery management, home-automation, electronic vehicles, and medical instrumentation. IP Bedrock GE invested over 12 years of R&D into the materials and processes for high-power, high-reliability micro-mechanical relays, producing 60 patent families and a series of GE-qualified products. Menlo Micro focuses on bringing this unique solution to the broader market, expanding development of the technology and its reach across industries. How we got here Our lineage of innovation & entrepreneurship starts with the “Wizard of Menlo Park” himself, Thomas A. Edison. Born out of a decade-long effort at General Electric’s Global Research Center, Menlo Micro is bringing to the market a series of technology innovations that have enabled us to reinvent one of the most essential and fundamental building blocks required for nearly every electronic system imaginable….the switch.
