About Us

The next generation
of sensing technology

Founded in 2011, Vayyar started with a vision of developing a more effective way of screening for early-stage breast cancer using radio frequency technology.

As our technology matured, we created additional solutions in multiple industries.

Automotive

Senior care

Smart building

Public safety

Retail

And more

Sensors that
can see through walls and objects

Vayyar sensors generate rich point cloud data, enabling devices to instantly recognize and respond to their surroundings, while an ultra-wide field of view ensures maximum horizontal and vertical coverage. Because 4D imaging radar sensors aren’t based on cameras or optics, they are robust in all lighting and weather conditions, do not rely on line-of-sight and maintain privacy at all times.
