ULTRALOQ introduces smart lock collection with ultrawideband technology

Hardware manufacturer ULTRALOQ launched its updated residential lock product line incorporating ultra wideband hands free sensing and digital key access options for home security systems

ULTRALOQ, a leading brand of smart locks under Xthings, has announced the release of its latest smart lock collection. The new lineup includes ULTRALOQ Bolt Mission, Bolt Pro, and Latch 5 Pro, all of which are equipped with advanced technology to provide effortless and secure access for homeowners.

The ULTRALOQ Bolt Mission is the first smart lock in the industry to incorporate ultrawideband (UWB) technology for precise, hands-free approach-to-unlock functionality. It distinguishes between authorized users approaching from outside and normal movement inside the home by analyzing the precise distance and direction of arrival. Bolt Mission eliminates the need for an app, PIN, or separate hub for hands-free entry, as it processes intent detection logic locally between the authorized phone and the lock.

Bolt Pro, priced at $269.99, is a premium front-door deadbolt that supports multi-model access methods, including digital wallet access, fingerprint, PIN, app control, and physical key backup. It combines tap-to-unlock access with fingerprint, PIN, app, and physical key entry. Latch 5 Pro, priced at $249.99, brings the same digital wallet experience to doors with levers rather than deadbolts, such as side entrances, home offices, garage-entry doors, rentals, and shared spaces.

It is compatible with Aliro and Matter standards, enabling seamless integration with leading smart home platforms.

What it takes to remove the monitor and keyboard: decoders, projection and phosphenes

The question that started this: can AI send signals into a brain so that an image shows up on someone's retina? I wanted to see AI output with my own eyes and skip the keyboard.

  • Decoding speech from brain activity involves motor areas and 256 intracortical electrodes.
  • Phosphene generation maps electrodes to phosphene production for per-patient tuning.
  • Retinal projection uses optics to maintain image sharpness regardless of eye focus.
