ANT™ modules

ANT™ is a reliable ultra-low-power wireless protocol designed for the seamless transmission of information between devices robustly and flexibly.

Having garnered millions of deployed nodes, ANT™ proves highly adaptable for various low-data rate sensor network topologies. These include configurations like peer-to-peer, star, and practical mesh, particularly within personal area networks that are appropriate for sports, fitness, wellness, and home health applications. Additionally, ANT™ is a beneficial solution for local area networks in home and industrial automation applications.

ANT™, as a 2.4 GHz practical wireless networking protocol and embedded system solution, is tailor-made for wireless sensor networks which demand:

  • ultra-low-power: runs on a coin cell for years of operation.
  • highly resource optimized: fits into a compact-sized memory.
  • network flexibility and scalability: self-adaptive and able to do practical mesh.
  • easy to use with low system cost: operates independently with a single chip.
