Deployed and operating on multiple continents
The Foundation Layer
for Physical AI
ZaiNar turns any wireless network into a sensing system that continuously knows where everything is, without satellites, cameras, or drain on device power or compute.

The Innovation
Turn the network into a sensor.
Sub-nanosecond time synchronization on existing wireless networks
Radio waves travel at approximately 30 centimeters per nanosecond. Synchronize time at the sub-nanosecond level and you get centimeter-level positioning accuracy, indoors, outdoors, through walls, and around corners.
network time synchronization
What It Does
Everything the network can do once it can sense
Accuracy where GPS fails.
Sub-10cm accuracy indoors, underground, and in GPS-denied environments.
Protocol-agnostic.
Works across WiFi, 5G, and other radio protocols.
Nothing changes on the device.
Zero device changes, zero hardware changes, zero battery drain. Network-side only.
It gets better on its own.
Self-calibrating in real time. Performance actually improves over time with ZaiNar learning from every new environment it is deployed in.
Fast enough for things that move.
Up to 500 location updates per second.
Fits the spectrum you actually have.
Full positioning precision on less than 10MHz.
One deployment, every environment.
A single deployment spans indoor, outdoor, above ground, and below ground with no handoff.
What People Are Saying
"ZaiNar has solved a problem that’s stymied the industry for decades. Precise positioning without dedicated hardware infrastructure opens markets that were previously inaccessible."
"I wish something like ZaiNar had existed when I was at Amazon: Not only would it have changed how we operated, but also where we set the bar."
Available Now
Deployed and operating today
ZaiNar is not a concept or a prototype. It is deployed across healthcare, construction, and industrial operations on multiple continents.
Healthcare
Helping clinical teams find medical devices and track equipment in real time, eliminating the 20-30% of staff time typically spent searching.
Construction
Freeing construction workers from hazard zones with live equipment tracking, automatic progress monitoring, and dynamic safety zones.
Autonomous Operations
Enabling coordinated autonomous operations across industries. Every connected device knows where it is in relation to other objects with centimeter-level accuracy, in real time.
Commercial Traction
Intellectual property and commercial momentum
Beyond Positioning
Future applications
Sub-nanosecond synchronization has implications far beyond
knowing where things are.
Data Centers
Sub-nanosecond synchronization could shrink packet buffer gaps dramatically, potentially doubling throughput without additional bandwidth or power.
GPS Backup
GPS can be jammed or spoofed. ZaiNar’s approach uses existing cellular and WiFi signals to create immediately-available terrestrial backup.
Smart Cities
Location-as-a-service for next-generation urban infrastructure. Agreements representing hundreds of millions across multiple continents.
The signals are already in the air.
The physics has always been there.
The smarter use of connectivity signals is all that's needed to unlock a physical future for AI, today.
