Vayyar

Vayyar was founded in 2011 by Raviv Zeyde, Amir Ben-Ishai, and Yoni Reiner. The company is headquartered in Yehud, Israel, and develops 3D radar sensor chips based on high-band RF (radio frequency) technology.

Vayyar's primary product is a radar sensor chip capable of detecting the position, motion, and 3D structure of objects and people — without cameras and without compromising privacy. The sensor emits radar waves and processes the returning signals to enable presence detection, fall detection, respiration monitoring, and more. Vayyar sells its technology as an OEM component to companies in smart home, automotive, healthcare, and retail. Typical buyers are device manufacturers (OEM/ODM), construction companies, and IoT platform developers.

Vayyar Home is designed for elderly monitoring and fall detection in residential settings, requiring no wearable devices. Vayyar Care targets care facilities and nursing homes. In automotive, Vayyar developed an in-cabin occupant detection sensor — including detection of children left in car seats — designed to meet European regulatory requirements (Euro NCAP). In retail, the sensor enables in-store customer movement analytics.

Vayyar's headquarters and primary R&D center are located in Yehud. The founders are Israeli, and the core engineering team is based in Israel. The company also has commercial and go-to-market presence in the United States, Europe, and Asia.
