A new strategic partner: Montreal-based HaiLa Technologies (https://www.haila.io/), an innovator in ultra-low power wireless connectivity.
“Together, the companies will demonstrate how BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic technology pairs seamlessly with HaiLa’s BSC2000 radio frequency integrated circuit RFIC to enable breakthrough power efficiency for connected sensor applications in different 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 leverages 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.”
That strategic collaboration was likely supposed to be revealed later today, on the first day of Sensors Converge, which will be taking place at the Santa Clara Convention Center (24-26 June) - audioexpress.com appears to have been a tad too early in publishing the news…

BrainChip Holdings, a pioneer in ultra-low power, neuromorphic processors, announced a strategic collaboration with HaiLa Technologies, an innovator in ultra-low power wireless connectivity. The partnership aims to deliver power optimized, smart edge AI devices with integrated sensor intelligence, connectivity, and computation. BrainChip and HaiLa are working with leading OEMs and ecosystem partners to bring their combined capabilities to multiple markets.

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. 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 optimized 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,” says Steve Brightfield, CMO at 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,” adds Patricia Bower, Vice President of Product Management at 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.”
Founded in 2019, HaiLa is a fabless semiconductor and software company developing low-power multi-protocol radio communication for connected devices. Originally conceptualized at Stanford University, HaiLa enables pervasive edge AI and the scaling of battery-free IoT by offering extremely power-efficient wireless connectivity on industry standard wireless protocols like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular. HaiLa solutions deliver unparalleled cost savings in battery maintenance, the ability to leverage existing wireless infrastructure, and support for efficient communication of locally inferenced AI/ML data directly on the device. Applications are focused on consumer electronics, smart buildings and logistics spaces, along with mobile, manufacturing, transportation, and medical markets.
BrainChip is leading developer of Edge AI on-chip processing and learning. The company’s Akida processor is the first commercial, fully digital, event-based AI solution that mimics the way the brain analyzes data — processing only essential inputs with unmatched efficiency and speed. Akida supports Edge learning directly on the chip, without the need for cloud connectivity, providing significant advantages in latency, privacy, and energy consumption. Akida IP is ideal for integration into SoCs used in a wide range of real-world applications, from connected vehicles and consumer electronics to industrial automation and IoT sensors.
BrainChip (booth #919) and HaiLa (booth #738) are exhibiting at Sensors Converge 2025, from June 24-26 in Santa Clara, California.

I wonder if our initial contact may have been through their partner UW (University of Washington) in Seattle. The UW Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has been happily sending us summer interns for the past few years, and some of those decided to stay for longer: Both FNU Sidharth (who recently left our company to pursue a PhD at the University of Michigan) and Ritik Shrivastava (who is still working for us as an ML Solutions Architect) are UW alumni.
