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. 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.~

gumstix is a gum stick sized single board computer (computer-on-module), which is able to run embedded Linux and~
Android. This section introduces a gumstix model and shows how to create OpenEmbedded build system. The model~
of the gumstix used hereis verdex pro XL6P,  PXA270 (Marvell) @600MHz. The build system is used for installing~
Angstrom Distribution.~
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. ~
