The RF MEMS crosspoint switch (1) comprising a first transmission (10) line and a second transmission line (11) that crosses the first transmission line ; the first transmission line (10) comprises two spaced-apart transmission line portions (100, 101), and a switch element (12) that permanently electrically connects the said two spaced-apart transmission line portions (100, 101) ; the second transmission line (11) crosses the first transmission line (10) between the two spaced-apart transmission line portions (100, 101); the RF MEMS crosspoint switch (1) further comprises actuation means (121) for actuating the switch element (12) at least between a first position, in which the switch element (12) is electrically connecting the said two spaced-apart transmission line portions (100, 101) of the first transmission line (10) and the first (10) and second (11) transmission lines are electrically disconnected, and a second position, in which the switch element (12) is electrically connecting the said two spaced-apart transmission line portions (100, 101) of the first transmission line (10) and is also electrically connecting the two transmission lines (10, 11) together.
