AONDevices and H&S HighTech Forge Strategic Alliance to Expand Super-Low-Power, Always-On Edge AI Globally

­AONDevices, Inc., a pioneer in super-low-power, always-on edge AI technology, and H&S HighTech Corp., a global leader in semiconductor and electronics distribution, today announced a strategic alliance aimed at accelerating the worldwide adoption of next-generation always-on AI solutions. As part of the partnership, H&S HighTech has made a strategic investment in AONDevices and will serve as its preferred distributor and strategic partner across Korea and select international markets.

Smarter Devices, Powered by Always-On, Super-Low-Power AI
From TV remotes and smart wearables to connected health monitors and industrial sensors, the demand for embedded, always-on intelligence is growing rapidly. Yet most processors fall short when it comes to delivering real-time responsiveness without draining battery life. AONDevices addresses this challenge head-on with highly efficient AI processors built for sub-milliwatt, always-on operation – delivering best-in-class accuracy at ultra-low power.

Target Devices and Markets

• Consumer & Personal Electronics: TV remotes, headsets, smart home appliances, wearables, and security systems
• Mobility, Health & Industrial Monitoring: Automotive systems, industrial sensors, and connected health monitors

Always-On Edge AI Example Use Cases Include:

• Wake word and voice command recognition
• Acoustic event and scene detection (AED/ASD)
• Gesture and activity recognition
• Environmental sensing and contextual awareness
• Speaker identification
• Multi-modal sensor fusion

Flexible, Future-Ready AI Architecture
The AONDevices platform is built for modern edge applications that demand real-time performance, ultra-low power, and data privacy. Supporting both fully offline and hybrid edge plus cloud deployments, the architecture enables secure, always-on experiences in devices that need to operate continuously – on a single battery charge.

“This partnership with H&S HighTech marks a significant step in AONDevices’ global growth strategy,” said Mouna Elkhatib, CEO of AONDevices. “We’re excited to combine our cutting-edge always-on edge AI technology with H&S HighTech’s market strength to deliver smarter, more efficient devices to customers worldwide.”

“We believe AONDevices is redefining what’s possible with always-on edge AI,” said Kim Jung-hee, CEO of H&S HighTech. “Their ultra-low-power capabilities are exactly what our customers need to enable intelligent, next-generation devices across industries.”

Why AONDevices Stands Out

• Industry-Leading Power Efficiency: For always-on AI applications
• High Accuracy with Tiny Footprint: Neural networks under 50KB
• End-to-End AI Enablement: Hardware plus software plus deployment tools
• Sensor Fusion: Audio, motion, environmental sensing
• Flexible Engagement Model: Customizable for OEMs
• Momentum with Tier-1 OEMs: Across multiple markets
