Real-time location tracking is the next revolution in big data. ZaiNar (/zye-nar/) is developing the next generation of wireless radio location tracking technologies for mobile and IoT applications. Our technology achieves sub-meter precision positioning with cross compatibility across a wide range of devices and communication protocols. We can provide enterprises with the data that they need to be competitive—such as analytics and KPIs from customer traffic, targeted SMS advertising, online-offline attribution and retargeting, security, and inventory and asset management.
ZaiNar's proprietary mesh network technology provides a versatile solution for real-time local positioning that is far more scalable, cost-effective, and accurate than existing alternatives such as GPS/GNSS, WiFi, and Bluetooth. We power location tracking for cellular phones (including the latest LTE and 5G standards), radio frequency tags, embedded IoT devices, vehicles and UAVs, and other wireless devices and standards with over 200-meter range and sub-meter accuracy.
