BrainChip and HaiLa Collaborate on Ultra-Low Power AI and Connectivity for IoT Sensors

BrainChip announced a partnership with HaiLa Technologies, a developer of ultra-low power wireless connectivity solutions. The collaboration focuses on integrating BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic technology with HaiLa’s BSC2000 radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) to enable low-power IoT sensor applications in medical, environmental, and infrastructure monitoring sectors.
The joint demonstration combines HaiLa’s passive backscatter Wi-Fi communication with BrainChip’s Akida AKD1500 event-based AI processor, targeting power efficiency for connected sensor applications. This architecture supports battery-operated devices running on a single coin cell battery for their entire lifespan, consuming only microwatts of power. The integration enables functions such as anomaly detection and condition monitoring in IoT, medical, and smart infrastructure markets.
BrainChip and HaiLa aim to provide a platform for intelligent edge devices by combining Akida’s event-driven AI processing with HaiLa’s Wi-Fi-compatible BSC2000 RFIC. The partnership is working with OEMs and ecosystem partners to bring these capabilities to market.
Steve Brightfield, CMO at BrainChip, stated that the collaboration demonstrates how low-power AI processing and wireless connectivity can enable practical battery-powered edge sensors. Patricia Bower, Vice President of...
