Sonarax
Sonarax is an Israeli startup developing proprietary ultrasonic data communication and positioning technology enabling secure device-to-device communication and indoor positioning without GPS or internet connectivity.
Visit WebsiteCompany Overview
Sonarax has developed patented ultrasonic data-over-sound technology that enables devices to communicate and determine precise indoor positions using inaudible sound waves. The technology requires only a speaker and microphone, making it deployable on any existing device without additional hardware.
The platform supports proximity verification, indoor positioning, device-to-device data transfer, and presence detection with high accuracy. Applications span retail, hospitality, IoT, and secure communications where GPS is unavailable or undesirable.
Dual-use relevance is significant: ultrasonic positioning and secure proximity communication have direct defense applications including GPS-denied navigation, secure tactical communications, proximity authentication for classified environments, and indoor positioning for building clearance operations where RF-based systems are compromised or jammed.
