[[MeeGo]] is a Linux-based open source OS, which is created since Intel of Moblin and Nokia of Maemo~
have merged together. [[MeeGo]] is aimed at working with wide range of hardware, and currently three~
projects are specifically targeted thee different areas of devices – handset devices, netbooks, and~
in-vehicle infotainment terminals.~
[[ANT]] section lists the information of ANT related products such as ANT-30pin Adapter,~
ANT-Serial bridge module, and ANT-USB dongle. The information of corresponding~
drivers and ANT used electronics works are also shown.~
For the questions of ANT, please join BC-ANT, a Facebook group. Please search "BC-ANT"~
within Facebook. Then send a message to an administrator of the group for registration.~
*** ANT Adapter [#e21f2106]
>
ANT Adapter is an ANT-30pin adapter for iPhone and iPod touch, which are equipped with 30pin connector and internal GPS.
ANT Adapter supports ANT protocol as well as ANT device profiles. To communicate ANT+ sensors, ANT Adapter requires
the specific iOS application, BeatRun.
This adapter has passed the certification test of Apple MFi Program, and it has been received Technical Conformity form
the Japanese regulatory authority. ~

* Hardware [#o7ce1733]
**ANT [#ud9cf90c]
>
ANT is a proprietary wireless sensor network protocol, which is running in 2.4GHz ISM band. ANT works at~
ultra-law power consumption and capable of handling various types of networks such as peer-to-peer, star,~
tree and fixed mesh networks. However, the communication distance is limited. The amount of data can be~
transmitted at once is also restricted. In this section, the ANT related hardware is listed. The samples that utilize~
the hardware and the ANT related software are underdevelopment.~
