Developed to provide the ultimate in ultra low power and flexibility for wireless enabled devices, the ANT protocol addresses the sensor connectivity problems experienced by other protocols.
Having evolved through several generations, ANT today dominates the digital sensing market for sports, fitness and wellness. Focusing on the requirement of ultra low power and ultra-high efficiency, ANT and ANT+ offer a range of features and benefits that go beyond other standards and proprietary solutions.
