UNION CITY,Calif.,Sept. 12,2024 -- U-tec,the leader in smart home solutions,today introduced the first smart lock to leverage ultra-wideband (UWB) technology,the Ultraloq Bolt Mission UWB+NFC,that provides consumers with enhanced security,a seamless user experience,and the convenience of not requiring physical contact or proximity cards.


World's First Smart Deadbolt With UWB+NFC Technology

U-tec is the first company to leverage UWB technology in smart locks. It allows the Ultraloq Bolt Mission UWB+NFCsmart lock to significantly enhance its functionality by providing accurate spatial awareness and secure,hands-free access - making it an ideal solution for modern access control systems.

Ultra-wideband technology,a wireless communication protocol,operates at very high frequencies,allowing for precise location tracking and data transmission over short distances. When integrated with the Ultraloq Bolt UWB+NFC smart lock,UWB technology enables devices to determine their exact position relative to the lock,ensuring that only authorized users within a close range can unlock it.

The Ultraloq Bolt Mission UWB+NFCsmart lock integrates with various smart home systems,including Apple Home,Amazon Alexa,Hey Google,SmartThings,and IFTTT,allowing remote access and monitoring via a dedicated mobile app.

"Ultra-wideband technology is redefiningsmart locks—offering precise,instant access and unmatched security. It's the next level of convenience and protection for your home." said Jesse Wang,Head of Product Marketing at U-tec.

U-tec expects to launch smart door locks with UWB+NFC technology in two phases. The first version of Bolt Mission UWB+NFC,released in Q4 2024,will support Matter and HomeKit. The proximity door opening feature is only available through the U-home App and does not currently support the soon-to-be-released Aliro standard.However,a more high-endversion will support the Matter and Aliro standards when released in 2025. The first version ofUltraloq Bolt Mission UWB+NFCis expected to ship in Q1 2025. [To talk about partnership]

"We're talking about a $2B market. UWB technology offers incredibly precise distance and location measurement,making it especially valuable for a wide range of applications,including smart locks," said Mark Vena,Director of Business Partnerships at U-tec.

Our company aims to empower individuals and families with the convenience and benefits of modern technology. The Bolt Mission UWB+NFC represents a significant technological breakthrough,furthering our commitment to enhancing the mainstream user experience," Vena continued.
