ANT+ is an energy-efficient, cross-manufacturer wireless standard for sensor data in the fitness and health sector. Via Datico® Live Control, more than 1,000 ANT+-compatible devices can be captured and analyzed time-synchronized in the Datico® LIFE HUB.
Challenge
Wireless sensors such as heart rate, cadence, speed and power meters deliver valuable data that is laborious to integrate one by one and usually remains as isolated individual values.
Solution
Via Datico® Live Control, the Datico® LIFE HUB is ANT+ compatible and opens up more than 1,000 devices at once through the standard – their data is captured, combined and stored time-synchronized.
Result
A multitude of individual ANT+ signals becomes a coherent, analyzable data stream that can be combined time-synchronized with diagnostic, device and environmental data.
ANT+ in the Datico® LIFE HUB: capture more than 1,000 devices live
ANT+ is one of the most established wireless standards for sensor data in the fitness and health sector. Via Datico® Live Control, the Datico® LIFE HUB is ANT+ compatible – opening up a very broad device world at once.
What is ANT+?
ANT+ is a wireless standard for sensor networks, maintained by Garmin (ANT/ANT+) and supported by numerous manufacturers. Through standardized device profiles – for example for heart rate, cadence, speed or power – ANT+ devices are interoperable across manufacturers while being particularly energy-efficient (ultra-low-power).
Just how impressively broad this ecosystem is becomes clear in the official directory: an overview of all ANT+-certified systems is available in the ANT+ Directory.
ANT+ in the Datico® LIFE HUB
Via Live Control, more than 1,000 different ANT+-compatible devices can be connected to the Datico® LIFE HUB. Their data is captured in real time, combined and displayed and stored time-synchronized – together with other data sources.
This means ANT+ support also follows the thread of the Datico® Data Value Chain: data is connected (Data in Connection), transformed into insights (Data in Context), made available in an understandable way (Data in Communication) and managed in a privacy-compliant and vendor-independent manner (Data in Consistency).
Added value through time-synchronized analysis
The real benefit emerges when ANT+ sensor data is viewed not in isolation but in context. In the Datico® LIFE HUB, heart rate, power and other sensor values can be combined time-synchronized with diagnostic, device and environmental data and analyzed together.
This turns a multitude of individual ANT+ signals into a solid, coherent data basis.
Conclusion
With ANT+ support via Live Control, the Datico® LIFE HUB opens the door to a very broad, cross-manufacturer sensor world. Instead of integrating individual devices one by one, an entire standard is available time-synchronized.
This turns wireless sensor data into a solid basis for decisions – a consistent step toward Better Data. Better Decisions. Better Outcomes.
Frequently asked questions
Is Datico® compatible with the ANT+ standard?
Yes. Via Datico® Live Control, the Datico® LIFE HUB is ANT+ compatible. This allows more than 1,000 different ANT+-compatible devices to be connected, combined and captured and stored time-synchronized.
The advantage lies in the breadth: instead of integrating each device individually, the Datico® LIFE HUB opens up an entire, cross-manufacturer standard at once with ANT+. The sensor data is available not as isolated individual values but as a time-synchronized data stream.
What is ANT+?
ANT+ is a wireless standard for sensor networks, maintained by Garmin (ANT/ANT+) and supported by numerous manufacturers of sensors and measurement systems in the fitness and health sector.
Through standardized device profiles – for example for heart rate, cadence, speed or power – ANT+ devices are interoperable across manufacturers. The standard is also particularly energy-efficient (ultra-low-power), which makes it attractive for continuously worn sensors.
Which ANT+ devices are supported?
In principle, ANT+-compatible sensors can be connected, for example heart rate, cadence, speed and power sensors.
Because ANT+ works across manufacturers through standardized device profiles, the range of connectable devices is very broad – more than 1,000 different ANT+-compatible devices can be integrated via Datico® Live Control. A complete overview of the certified systems is available in the official ANT+ Directory at thisisant.com/directory.
How is ANT+ data captured in Datico®?
Capture takes place in real time via Datico® Live Control – the real-time integration path of the Datico® LIFE HUB.
Several ANT+ devices can be connected simultaneously; their data is displayed, combined and stored time-synchronized – together with other data sources available in the Datico® LIFE HUB. This creates a consistent, analyzable data stream already during the measurement, rather than a subsequent merging of isolated values.
Can ANT+ data be combined with other data sources?
Yes. In the Datico® LIFE HUB, ANT+ sensor data can be merged time-synchronized with additional measurement and diagnostic data and analyzed together.
In concrete terms, heart rate, power and other sensor values can be combined time-synchronized with diagnostic, device and environmental data. This turns individual sensor values into a coherent overall picture instead of a collection of separate individual measurements.
Why is ANT+ support relevant for the Datico® LIFE HUB?
With ANT+ support via Datico® Live Control, the Datico® LIFE HUB opens the door to a very broad, cross-manufacturer sensor world. Instead of integrating individual devices one by one, an entire standard is available time-synchronized.
This means ANT+ support also follows the thread of the Datico® Data Value Chain: data is connected (*Data in Connection*), transformed into insights (*Data in Context*), made available in an understandable way (*Data in Communication*) and managed in a privacy-compliant and vendor-independent manner (*Data in Consistency*). This turns wireless sensor data into a solid basis for decisions: **Better Data. Better Decisions. Better Outcomes.**
