Avia Unveils Next-Gen Hands-Free Smart Lock Ready to Support Upcoming Aliro UWB Technology

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Avia, an award-winning pioneer in the smart home security sector, today announced the development of the Avia Aurora smart lock. Set to redefine home access, once the upcoming Aliro specification is released, this groundbreaking device will utilise cutting-edge Aliro ultra-wideband (UWB) technology, to deliver a truly hands-free, seamless unlocking experience.

The Avia Aurora lock is designed to eliminate the daily fumbling for keys or phones whilst carrying the groceries or a young child. By leveraging the spatial awareness of the upcoming Aliro UWB, the lock can precisely and securely detect the user's presence as they approach their door. With a smartphone in a pocket, bag, or even just in hand, the door automatically and securely unlocks, allowing for effortless entry. This technology not only offers unparalleled convenience but also provides a new level of security by distinguishing a person walking toward the door from someone simply passing by.

"We believe that true convenience is invisible, and with Avia Aurora, we're making home access fundamentally easier and smarter," said Mike Derham, Chairman of Avia. "Aliro’s upcoming UWB technology is a game-changer, enabling a magical, 'just walk up' experience that current Bluetooth and Wi-Fi locks simply can't match."

Avia is poised to lead the next generation of smart security devices with this advanced technology. The Avia Aurora smart lock is currently in development, with a full product launch to be announced later this year.
