Menlo Microsystems, who provides its Ideal Switch technology has already shipped one million devices. This milestone reflects the growing demand for the Ideal Switch, which offers a disruptive approach to traditional switching technology.
“Our Ideal Switch is redefining the core technology behind modern electronic design: the switch technology”, said Menlo Micro CEO Russ Garcia. “Reaching one million units shipped confirms that the Ideal Switch is increasingly becoming an industry standard as more customers realize its many benefits. We are seeing strong demand across multiple industries and are rapidly scaling our manufacturing to meet this growth, solidifying Menlo Micro’s role as the go-to provider for advanced switching solutions.”
Unlike traditional switching technologies, the Ideal Switch delivers high performance without compromising between size, weight, efficiency, and reliability. This capability allows OEMs to design smaller, lighter, faster, and more energy-efficient systems that can be readily scaled, offering new solutions to tackling the limitations of switching technologies.
Among he key areas Ideal Switch is suitable for are test & measurement, aerospace and defence, telecoms, and more.
The significant and increasing adoption of the Ideal Switch across these high-value markets reflects its growing role in addressing system-level bottlenecks caused by the limitations of traditional mechanical and semiconductor-based switches. Unlike conventional switches, the Ideal Switch avoids trade-offs between performance, size, weight, reliability, and efficiency, helping to unlock higher levels of system efficiency and next-gen design flexibility, ultimately delivering greater value to customers.
