BrainChip Holdings announced a strategic collaboration with HaiLa Technologies, an innovator in ultra-low power wireless connectivity. BrainChip and HaiLa are working with leading OEMs and ecosystem partners to bring their combined capabilities to market across medical, environmental, and infrastructure monitoring.
Together, the companies will demonstrate how BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic technology pairs with HaiLa’s BSC2000 radio frequency integrated circuit RFIC to enable breakthrough power efficiency for connected sensor applications in IoT, medical, and smart infrastructure markets.
The combined technologies produce an ultra-efficient architecture that paves the way for continuously connected battery-operated devices that can last the entire life of the product on a single coin cell battery. This joint demonstration draws on HaiLa’s hyper power-efficient passive backscatter wireless communication over standard Wi-Fi infrastructure with BrainChip’s Akida AKD1500 event-based AI processor. The integration provides a unique platform for anomaly detection, condition monitoring, and other sensor-intelligence tasks while operating on just microwatts of power.
BrainChip and HaiLa are teaming up to deliver smarter, ultra-low-power solutions for intelligent connected Edge devices, making it easier to run AI at the Edge without draining battery life, which can be a constraint. HaiLa’s BSC2000 is a Wi-Fi-compatible connectivity RFIC designed to showcase extreme power savings in IoT environments. When paired with Akida’s energy-efficient, event-driven AI compute, the result is a uniquely optimised approach.
“As a pioneer in neuromorphic computing, we are excited to partner with HaiLa to demonstrate how advanced low-power AI processing can work in tandem with ultra-efficient wireless connectivity,” said Steve Brightfield, CMO, BrainChip. “By combining our Akida technology with HaiLa’s innovative RF platform, we’re making intelligent, battery-powered edge sensors a practical reality.”
“Our collaboration with BrainChip brings together two power-conscious technologies that redefine what is possible at the edge,” said added Bower, Vice President of Product Management, HaiLa. “With backscatter Wi-Fi and neuromorphic AI operating on microwatts, developers can create continuously monitored, intelligent sensors that last for years without battery replacement. This is transformative for anomaly detection, predictive maintenance, and other real-time sensing applications.”
