ANT+ Bicycle Power
A bike power sensor is a sensor that is mounted on a bicycle and that allows the cyclist to measure his or her power output, which is the force required to move the bike forward and is measured in Watts. The meter transmits the information to a display device; the device can be a bike mounted display unit, watch, cell phone, piece of fitness equipment, or other personal display device. The purpose of the ANT+ Bicycle Power device profile is to provide a robust means of interoperable communication between bicycle power sensors and display units that are produced by separate manufacturers.
