ANT

Broad portfolio of ANT SoCs

Adding ANT connectivity to your product?

We offer a broad portfolio of wireless multiprotocol System-on-Chips (SoCs) supporting the ANT wireless protocol. All our SoCs are extremely advanced and power efficient, but all have different feature sets and memory configurations. Our customers select us because we offer high quality SoCs with ultra-low power consumption, ANT protocol stacks with excellent interoperability and easy-to-use software and tools. The complete solution for building end-products with ANT connectivity. In addition, we offer free technical support for anyone, guiding you through the whole product development process.

Our solution is an ideal fit for a wide range of ultra low power wireless applications, including sensors and hubs for sports, fitness and healthcare products.

Great hardware deserves great software

For the nRF5340 SoC, we offer the nRF Connect SDK, a complete software development kit for developing ANT and Bluetooth Low Energy applications. It integrates the scalable Zephyr RTOS, feature-rich ANT and Bluetooth LE protocols stacks, a variety of samples, hardware drivers and much more. The ANT stack can be licensed from Garmin Canada/ANT Wireless for evaluation and commercial use. Learn more on their ANT for nRF Connect SDK web page (requires an account).

For the nRF52810, nRF52832 and nRF52840 SoCs in the nRF52 Series we offer our nRF5 SDK together with our SoftDevices (protocol stacks). We offer ANT-only SoftDevices and combined ANT and Bluetooth LE SoftDevices. Learn more about supported ANT SoftDevices below.
