MicroIP will deploy edge AI architecture as part of a $20m smart residential community contract in Taiwan.

The provider of custom ASIC design services and edge AI software-hardware integrations won the contract for this AI smart residential development in Taiwan. Valued at approximately $20m, the three-year project will commence its initial phase of system architecture planning and project management next month.

This milestone underscores MicroIP’s expansion from chip design into large-scale, vertical-market edge AI system integration.

As demand surges for modern green buildings featuring security, energy efficiency and stringent privacy protections, MicroIP will serve as the core project manager and overall architecture integrator. Deploying proprietary edge AI technologies into the community’s operational hub enables decentralised, on-device real-time computing. This architecture reduces cloud transmission latency and network bandwidth consumption while ensuring residents’ personal data remains securely stored on-site. Furthermore, the deployment supports community-wide AI vision recognition, dynamic energy scheduling and scalable AIoT networking, creating a resilient and intelligent building management ecosystem.

To ensure transparent financial reporting, revenue from this project will be recognised progressively using the percentage-of-completion method under IFRS 15. The execution roadmap encompasses crucial milestones, including front-end architecture design, core software-hardware integration with AI platform interfacing and final subsystem validation. This phased approach will provide steady, visible contributions to the company’s financial performance as each milestone is achieved and officially handed over.

While specific client details remain confidential under non-disclosure agreements, this project sets a precedent for future growth. Looking ahead, MicroIP says it remains committed to its software-driven hardware strategy, advancing heterogeneous edge computing architectures and custom algorithms to capture emerging opportunities across smart buildings, intelligent security and smart manufacturing sectors globally.

Headquartered in Taiwan, MicroIP (www.micro-ip.com) provides ASIC design services and AI software, enabling rapid custom chip development.
