HaiLa Technologies creates ultra‑low‑power RF communication chips that use Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy backscatter to transmit sensor data with as little as 5 µW of power. Their integrated solutions—including the BSC1000 tag, BSC2000 chip, and BSC3000 System‑on‑Chip with a RISC‑V MCU and hardware encryption—enable IoT sensors to run for years on a coin‑cell battery or harvested energy, supporting battery‑free or long‑life deployments across smart home, building, industrial, automotive, medical, and agricultural applications.

Problem
Wireless IoT sensors rely on batteries, leading to high operational costs, frequent maintenance, and significant environmental waste as billions of batteries are deployed and discarded. Existing low‑power communication methods still consume enough energy to limit sensor lifetime and hinder large‑scale, sustainable IoT deployments.
Solution
HaiLa Technologies develops ultra‑low‑power RF communication chips that use backscatter techniques on Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy to enable sensor data transmission with power consumption as low as 5 µW. Their product line includes the BSC1000 Wi‑Fi backscatter tag, the BSC2000 monolithic analog‑digital backscatter chip, and the BSC3000 System‑on‑Chip that combines active Wi‑Fi, BLE backscatter, a RISC‑V MCU, and hardware encryption. By drastically reducing the energy required for wireless communication, HaiLa’s chips allow sensors to operate for years on a single coin‑cell battery or on harvested ambient energy, eliminating the need for regular battery replacement. The solution targets a broad range of IoT applications, from smart homes and building automation to industrial, automotive, medical, and agricultural sensing, supporting sustainable scaling of connected devices.
