Applications
Connectivity options
Aliro defines three standard configurations with different connectivity technologies to enable a secure and contactless exchange of credentials between user devices and reader devices.
- Near Field Communication (NFC), for contactless tap-and-go access use cases.
- NFC + Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE), for access control use cases.
- NFC + BLE + Ultra-wideband (UWB), for hands-free access use cases enabled by secure UWB ranging.
Aliro solution architecture with:
A complete solution for secure access control with NFC-only connectivity includes a reader device with connectivity & security building blocks that exchanges credentials with a user device (such as a mobile, wearable device, or smartcard).

How does Aliro work with Matter?
Aliro specifies the secure use of a mobile phone or wearable device as a key for access. Matter defines how connected products communicate with each other, enabling a wide range of command-and-control smart home use cases. Aliro and Matter standards are complementary and operate independently from one another. Devices and readers may support either one or both protocols.
