Dynastream ANT-USB-m
The latest ANT USB stick from Dynastream Innovations has a miniature design (18.96 x 12.48 x 5.02 mm) that allows users to always leave the stick plugged in.
ANTUSB-m also features many key enhancements to meet new requirements in demanding sports and wellness use cases. These new enhancements include fast burst data rate, encrypted data channel, up to 8 network keys and advanced search mechanism.
The ANT-USB-m product has been certified to comply with radio regulation or standards covering global markets that include North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, China, Korea, Japan and Taiwan.
ANT is a proven protocol and silicon solution for ultra-low power (ULP) practical wireless networking applications. ANT+ stands for interoperability between ANT+ Alliance members, which means that ANT+ products from multiple brands work together. Applicable in sport, wellness management and home health monitoring, ANT+ (built on the base ANT protocol) defines device profiles that specify data formats, channel parameters and network keys. Leading brands design ANT+ into top products to ensure that you get the data you want – when and where you want it.
A further technology based on ANT that was just recently published by Dynastream is the ANT BLAZE. It is a connectionless mesh networking technology for handling high node count IoT applications in large scale environments. ANZ BLAZE is perfectly suited for monitoring and control applications in challenging environments and can be used concurrently with smartphones and tablets without interfering with these Bluetooth enabled devices.
