ANT Wireless (“ANT” http://www.thisisant.com), a division of Dynastream Innovations Inc., today announces the first-ever ANT SoC (system on a chip); successor to Nordics ANT nRF24AP2 family, the Nordic nRF51422. Designed specifically to optimize ultra low power network solutions such as sport, fitness and health monitoring devices, this new single chip solution is also backward compatible with millions of existing ANT and ANT+ products. The ANT SoC lowers system development costs with further ease of integration and savings in power and BOM costs than the already-proven Nordic ANT products.
The latest part in the ANT family from Nordic will enable the long standing goal of single chip RF sensor devices, which is a huge milestone, stated Rod Morris, Vice President, Dynastream. Theres nothing like it in the market and ANT presents a distinct advantage with proven ANT+ profiles and immediate connection to the great variety of available ANT+ devices.
With the increase in user acceptance in our everyday lives, complex and intertwined applications of wireless sensors and networks are being defined. These use cases often require secure individual and conference modes of communication with sensors, a function easily supported by ANT+ but not by other star-only network technologies. Certain examples include coaching applications, individual medical data sharing to multiple displays, point of purchase, one-to-many broadcast modes, etc.
ANT entered the ULP wireless sector in 2005 and has continually led in lowest power, complex functionality and reliable interoperability through ANT+, becoming the defacto standard for digital wireless sport and fitness PAN networks.
Were proud of our long-standing relationship with ANT and the game-changing products we continually offer the industry, stated Geir Langeland, Director of Sales & Marketing, Nordic Semiconductor. Since partnering with ANT in 2005, weve virtually created the PAN market. Weve focused on the needs of the market and collaborated with ANT and leading brands to provide the right solutions at the right time.
Out of the box, the nrf51422 SoC can offer quick time to market for:
First-ever ANT single chip solution combines cost, power and size efficiencies with ecosystem of proven devices
