ATP Electronics 2 GB CompactFlash cardATP Electronics 1 GB microSD card and miniSD and SD card adapters
ATP Electronics was a manufacturer of NAND based storage DRAM modules founded in Silicon Valley in 1991, headquarter was later moved to Taipei, Taiwan. ATP’s product line consist of Industrial grade products, such as SSD, SD / microSD memory cards, along with DRAM products that are used in business industries across Networking, Enterprise Mobility, Automotive industry, Military, IPC/Embedded Systems, Health care, Gaming and The Internet of Things (IoT). Intel's CMTL ( Computer memory test lab ), one of the largest third party testing lab for Intel server platforms, only recommended two memory modules companies to purchase motherboards in Taiwan, one noted to be ATP Electronics.[1]
History
2000-2010
In 2003, ATP was the first company to introduce 1 GB MultiMediaCard (MMC) to the mass-market.[2]
In 2007, ATP introduced The GPS PhotoFinder, a device to automate adding location data on JPEG image file convenient for Geotagging.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9] The geotagging device was unique for its time and received news media coverage from the founder of Yahoo Tech David Pogue, while he was at The New York Times,[10][11] further media coverage from NBC News,[12] CNBC[13] at CES 2008.

2011-Present
Starting 2011, ATP gradually shifted its business strategy towards the manufacture of industrial OEM suited memory products. Technology
and manufacturing techniques were engineered and integrated into ATP's memory product lines for NAND Flash and Dram embedded modules to assure that Data integrity, longevity, endurance and Data security were met for its adapted business applications and hosting environment.[citation needed]
Products
ATP Electronics manufactures two main memory product type :
ATP Electronics had strategic partnership with Samsung, Toshiba and Micron Technology.[26] In 2015, ATP Electronics partners with Micron to continue support of legacy DRAM modules. From the collaboration, ATP will support Micon’s DRAM modules (SDR/DDR) and its associated services to customer base that cannot be migrated from their current hosting platforms.[27]
Founded in the United States, ATP Electronics is now headquartered in Taipei, Taiwan, with branch offices operational in India, USA, Germany, China and Japan.
Manufacturing, testing and validation facility is also stationed in Taiwan, Kaohsiung.[33]
