Nordic Semiconductor, a global leader in low-power wireless connectivity solutions, and Qorvo, a leading RF and power technologies company, have announced availability of a reference application targeting access control systems utilizing Connectivity Standards Alliance’s (CSA) Aliro and Matter. The solution is based on Nordic’s nRF54L Series ultra-low power multiprotocol System-on-Chip (SoC) and Qorvo’s QM35825 ultra-wideband (UWB) SoC. The reference application will enable developers to easily and quickly get started on Aliro and Matter access control - making the smart lock design process accessible for any manufacturer.
The QM35825 UWB SoC addresses Aliro’s precision and security requirements by enabling micro-location accuracy and reliable distance ranging. Nordic’s nRF54L Series SoC integrates an ultra-low power multiprotocol 2.4 GHz radio and Arm Cortex-M33 MCU. The SoC brings the ultra-low power consumption and security demanded by smart locks. It features secure-boot, -firmware update, and -storage, as well as offering a trusted execution environment enabled by Arm TrustZone, a cryptographic engine with side-channel leakage protection, and tamper detectors.
