Zainar, Inc.

Based in the US, Zainar Inc. operates as a provider of wireless radio location tracking technologies designed for mobile and Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Based in California, US, and founded in 2017, Zainar Inc. is a developer of an autonomous position-tracking platform capable of locating radio devices in 3D with meter-level accuracy.

Unlike GPS and GNSS, the company's platform utilizes wireless radio signals from devices such as cellphones, IoT sensors, and RFID tags for precise positioning. The company was co-founded by Daniel Jacker (CEO), Philip Kratz, Ph. D. (CTO), Jake Levy, Eric Roselli, and Alexander Hooshmand.

In February 2026, Zainar Inc. raised USD 100 million in venture funding. ZaiNar's platform uses radio signals (cellphones, IoT sensors, and chipless RFID tags) for positioning without GPS/GNSS. It enables the tracking of cars, assets, people, tools, and more in industrial environments with a range of over 200 meters and sub-meter precision.

The platform is compatible with 3GPP release 16 standards, allowing location tracking for 5G-NR devices without hardware changes. It supports real-time tracking of phones, vehicles, drones, and other 5G devices, promoting safer roads through vehicle-to-infrastructure coordination. Additionally, it facilitates managing micromobility and the retrieval of connected bikes and scooters. ZaiNar generates revenue by licensing its physical AI platform to enterprises and carriers, charging for access to sub‑meter location intelligence, network‑based sensing capabilities, and large‑scale deployment across existing 5G, Wi‑Fi, and private wireless infrastructure.

The company will use the February funding to scale its physical AI platform, accelerating global deployment of sub‑meter spatial intelligence using existing wireless networks.
