ANT+, introduced in 2004 as "the first ultra low power wireless standard", is an interoperability function that can be added to the base ANT protocol. This standardization allows the networking of nearby ANT+ devices to facilitate the open collection and interpretation of sensor data. For example,
241:
ANT accommodates three types of messaging: broadcast, acknowledged, and burst. Broadcast is a one-way communication from one node to another (or many). The receiving node(s) transmit no acknowledgment, but the receiving node may still send messages back to the transmitting node. This technique is

and running to completion. The receiving node acknowledges receipt and informs of corrupted packets that the transmitter then re-sends. The packets are sequence numbered for traceability. This technique is suited to data block transfer where the integrity of the data is paramount.

ANT+ devices require certification from the ANT+ Alliance to ensure compliance with standard device profiles. Each device profile has an icon which may be used to visually match interoperable devices sharing the same device profiles.

concurrently. This means the nodes can act as transmitters, receivers, or transceivers to route traffic to other nodes. In addition, every node is capable of determining when to transmit based on the activity of its neighbors.

280:
ANT uses adaptive isochronous transmission to allow many ANT devices to communicate concurrently without interference from one another, unlike
Bluetooth LE, which supports an unlimited number of nodes through
227:
ANT can be configured to spend long periods in a low-power sleep mode (consuming current on the order of microamperes), wake up briefly to communicate (when consumption rises to a peak of 22 milliamperes (at
235:) during reception and 13.5 milliamperes (at β5 dB) during transmission) and return to sleep mode. Average current consumption for low message rates is less than 60 microamperes on some devices.
238:
Each ANT channel consists of one or more transmitting nodes and one or more receiving nodes, depending on the network topology. Any node can transmit or receive, so the channels are bi-directional.

ANT+ enabled fitness monitoring devices such as heart-rate monitors, pedometers, speed monitors, and weight scales can all work together to assemble and track performance metrics.

hundreds of time slots. The ANT messaging period (the time between each node transmitting its data) determines how many time slots are available.
