Afaik, the new ANT USB mini stick ( http://www.thisisant.com/developer/components/antusb-m/ ) supports "Advanced burst transfer" (24 byte bursts), which can increase transfer rates by a factor of three.
As far as I understand, it's left to application tiers to use this - it requires calling a different method ANT_SendAdvancedBurstTransfer . Which would as well mean that master and slave would have to negotiate usage of advanced bursts transfers on the application tier. Right?

Does ANT-FS provide any support for "Advanced burst transfer"? It would be a very obvious improvement of this service.
If not, are there any plans to add this to the ANT-FS spec. and the implementations that you provide?

Cheers,
OMB

None of the existing ANT-FS implementations integrate the Advanced Burst functionality. We are aware of the benefits that it would bring to enable faster file transfers,and this is something that we are considering adding in the future, but we don't have plans for this in the short term.
