 **********************
 
-Bluetooth LE transport is supported on the `nRF5340 DK`_ and `nRF54LM20 DK`_ platforms and is configured to operate in the peripheral role, allowing the device to advertise its presence and accept connections from Bluetooth LE central devices.
+Aliro over Bluetooth LE-only mode is not supported.
+The Aliro mode, which uses a combination of Bluetooth LE and UWB transports, is supported on the `nRF5340 DK`_ and `nRF54LM20 DK`_.
+Bluetooth LE transport on the `nRF54L15 DK`_ or `nRF52840 DK`_ is used for other purposes, such as Nordic UART Service (NUS) or OTA DFU.
 The advertising payload is generated according to the Aliro specification, based on the ``reader group identifier`` and ``reader group sub-identifier``.
 The payload updates automatically whenever these values change, ensuring that the device always advertises the latest group information.

 |REPO_NAME|
 ########################
 
-|REPO_NAME| is a top-level add-on containing a sample application that demonstrates how to integrate the `Aliro <Aliro Technology_>`_ and `Matter <Matter marketing note_>`_  stacks to implement fully functional door lock firmware.
+In combination with the |NCS|, the |REPO_NAME| provides a complete reference for building Aliro- and Matter-compatible locks and access control readers for both residential and commercial applications.
+The reference integrates multiple wireless technologies, including Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth LE), Ultra-Wideband (UWB), NFC, Thread, and Wi-Fi.
+This allows you to choose the appropriate technology for your specific use case.
+
+The |REPO_NAME| natively integrates the UWB SDK for Qorvo's QM35825 UWB SoC and the NFC driver for STMicroelectronics' ST25R300.
+However, platform abstraction APIs allow for easy integration of a UWB SoC and an NFC transceiver from any silicon vendor.
+
+Aliro standardizes the interaction that lets a phone or wearable act as a digital key at an opening.
+Matter delivers reliable command-and-control functionality, such as remote locking and unlocking, user provisioning, and integration with broader home automation platforms.
+The reference can support Aliro alone, Matter alone, or both protocols, depending on the specific use case and product requirements.
 
-Aliro is the new industry-standard access control and communication protocol, offering a secure, convenient, and consistent experience for users using smartphones, wearables, or other smart digital devices to unlock doors and openings.
 Aliro includes several key features that distinguish it from existing access protocols:
 
 * Interoperability and compatibility - Ensures seamless interaction between access readers, such as electronic locks and access control readers, and User Devices like a smartphone and wearables.
   The standardized solution allows manufacturer-independent devices and readers to work together without compromising security.
 * Flexibility - Does not dictate how your digital door lock or access control reader connects to the rest of your ecosystem.
-* Protocol support - Supports various transport protocols, including mandatory Near Field Communication (NFC), Bluetooth® LE or Bluetooth LE with ultra wideband (UWB).
+* Protocol support - Supports various transport protocols, including mandatory Near Field Communication (NFC), Bluetooth® LE or Bluetooth LE with Ultra-Wideband (UWB).
 
 .. note::
-  The support for the Bluetooth LE transport and UWB ranging is currently `experimental <Software maturity_>`_.
+  Support for the Aliro mode, which uses a combination of Bluetooth LE and UWB transports, is currently `experimental <Software maturity_>`_.
