ANT works at~ ultra-law power consumption and capable of handling various types of 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.~ *** 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. ~ ~ For the details of ANT Adapter, please visit ANT/ANT Adapter.~ ~ Also the farther information of BeatRun is available at ANT/BeatRun.~ *** BC-ANT-USB [#rde780ec] > BC-ANT-USB is a ANT-USB dongle, which is developed and produced by BeatCraft, Inc.~ The ANT chip that BC-ANT-USB employs is nRF24AP2-USB of Nordic Semiconductor, Inc.~ This ANT chip is commonly used for ANT-USB devices.
