Decades of Relentless Innovation
Founded in 2001 by Gordon Hurst MiCOM Labs, a privately owned and family-driven business, has emerged as a global leader in RF, Wireless, EMC testing and regulatory compliance certification services.

Vision and Dream
From its inception, MiCOM Labs was driven by a clear vision: engineer founded; privately owned; family run; relentlessly innovating.
As wireless tech was in its infancy, MiCOM took a bold step to provide specialized accredited RF, Wireless, and EMC testing services. By the mid-90s, with the explosion of wireless—Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, RFID, microwave fixed links, and cellular - regulators recognized the critical need to protect its emergency services and communications. MiCOM seized this opportunity, expanding its reach across North America, Europe, APAC, and LATAM.

For over two decades, MiCOM’s fearless approach to innovation has set it apart from its competitors. Embodying the belief that vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity, and change, MiCOM continuously challenges the status quo.
In 2009, MiCOM wrestled with a game-changing question: What if this could all be integrated and automated? This mindset has driven the company’s continued development of industry-leading solutions, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
