Wireless IoT devices rely on batteries that need frequent replacement — a cost and logistical burden that limits how widely they can be deployed. Sending raw sensor data to the cloud adds latency, raises privacy concerns, and contributes to growing data centre energy consumption. HaiLa is building the BSC3500, an ultra-low-power edge-AI connectivity chip that processes sensor data locally and transmits only low-bandwidth, AI-derived results over an extremely low-energy wireless link — enabling smarter, longer-lasting devices for smart buildings, industrial monitoring, automotive, and consumer wearables. The result: IoT devices that can run for years on a single battery while keeping data private and reducing cloud dependence. Developed entirely in Canada, the BSC3500 keeps world-class semiconductor IP and high-value engineering talent at home.
