Page 4 of 14 ANTUSB-m Stick Datasheet thisisant.com ANT™ Overview ANT™ is a practical wireless sensor network protocol running on 2.4 GHz ISM band. Designed for ultra low power, ease of use, efficiency and scalability, ANT easily handles peer-to-peer, star, tree and practical mesh topologies. ANT provides reliable data communications, flexible and adaptive network operation and cross-talk immunity. The protocol stack of ANT is extremely compact, requiring minimal microcontroller resources and considerably reducing system costs. ANT provides carefree handling of the Physical, Network, and Transport OSI layers. In addition, it incorporates key low-level security features that form the foundation for user-defined, sophisticated, network-security implementations. ANT ensures adequate user control while considerably lightening computational burden in providing a simple yet effective wireless networking solution. ANT supports public, managed and private network architectures with 232 uniquely addressable devices possible, ensuring that each device can be uniquely identified from each other in the same network. ANT is proven with an installed base of over four million nodes in ultra low power sensor network applications in sport, fitness, home and industrial automation. The ANT solutions are available in chips, chipsets and modules to suit a wide variety of application needs. Enhancements in this new generation ANT core stack:  Fast data burst up to 60 bps (true data throughput)  Encrypted data channel  Up to 8 ANT network keys  High duty search and active search sharing The complete description of ANT message protocol is found in the document “ANT Message Protocol and Usage”. The serial interface details are provided in the document “Interfacing with ANT General Purpose Chipsets and Modules”. Both documents are available on www.thisisant.com. ANT+ and ANT+ Alliance ANT+ is the open application layer on the top of the ANT stack. It standardizes communications and facilitates interoperability between a wide array of personal sports, wellness and lifestyle monitoring devices. ANT+ defines device profiles that specify access, data formats, and channel parameters.

ANTUSB-m The ANTUSB-m is a USB dongle that provides a quick and easy solution for Windows PC, Mac and Android equipment with an USB type A port to ANT wireless networks. Applications running on these computers or equipment often perform as the hub node of a network through the ANT USB stick to receive, store, analyze and display data collected from ANT sensors or other wearable or portable hub devices such as a watch and a bike computer. The application may also serve as the gateway to the Internet for cloud computing. The ANTUSB-m is a miniature design. When plugging in, the majority of the body is buried inside the computer or equipment. The ANTUSB-m includes many new feature enhancements of ANT.  Fast data burst up to 60 kbps (true data throughput)  Encrypted data channel  Up to 8 ANT network keys  High duty search and active search sharing These enhancements will deliver a better user experience on data downloading, private and secure data transfer, and connectivity with multiple devices. For detailed description and usage of these ANT enhancements, as well as of many other new features, please refer to “ANT Message Protocol and Usage”. The ANTUSB-m offering is supported by a set of Windows, MAC and Android drivers and a software library that provides application level interface to ANT functions. The accompanying software available from Dynastream includes sample application code that dramatically reduce the time required for connecting a computer to an ANT sensor network. Operating in the globally available ISM radio frequency band of 2.4GHz, the ANTUSB-m stick conforms to multinational RF regulatory standards, allowing the same product line to be sold and used in North America, Europe, and Asia, without modification. 1.1 Drivers Drivers are required for the ANTUSB-m  Windows XP, Vista, 7 and above The Windows drivers have been WHQL (Windows Hardware Quality Labs) certified and listed on windows updates. This allows the automatic driver install when the computer is connected to the internet, without special configuration or UAC (User Account Control) prompts. The driver is also available from www.thisisant.com.  Mac OS X10 and above ANTUSB-m is designed to work with Apple’s I/O Kit framework. No additional driver installation is required on Mac OS X machines.  Android 3.1 and above The ANT USB Service is available from play.google.com for phones supporting USB Host feature. 1.2 ANT library ANT library packages are provided for development in several languages, including C++ for Windows and Mac, .Net library for Windows, and Java for Android. ANT library packages are accessible from www.thisisant.com upon the acceptance of the ANT+ adopter agreement. The usage of the Windows and Mac OS X library package is
ANTUSB-m Stick Datasheet Page 7 of 14 thisisant.com governed by ANT+ Shared Source License. The usage of the Android SDK package is governed by the Apache 2.0 license. For detailed ANT feature description and message usage, please refer to “ANT Message Protocol and Usage”. 1.3 Product Model and Brand The ANTUSB-m stick is released in black color, unbranded and with a special ANT+ figure mark on the front. The top side is left blank for customers to print or apply a sticker of their own logos or brand names. Dynastream offers product customization for volume customers at a cost. The customization includes the choice of white color and logo or brand printing on top or front. Please contact Dynastream directly for such request. 1.3.1 Top Logo Area The top logo area of the USB-m is one of the options for printing. The surface is curved near the end of the stick, but any distortion of a flat image will be too small to make out under visual inspection The dimensions for a logo are: Width: 11mm Height: 7.1mm for a flat image projected onto the surface (7.3mm after projecting) Figure 1 Top Logo Area using ANT+ Logo for Illustration The curvature of the surface is larger near the end of the ANTUSB-m. So this is the area where any stretching of the image will occur. The bottom corners do have a large fillet on them (approximately 1.9mm in radius). As such, any logos must take this into account if it is desired to have the logo off center. 1.3.2 Front Logo Area The end logo area is the second location available for branding. It is a gently curved surface facing directly out when installed in a standard USB port. Figure 2 Front Logo Area Using ANT+ Figure for Illustration The dimensions for a logo are: 10.2mm x 3.5mm
Page 8 of 14 ANTUSB-m Stick Datasheet thisisant.com The Fillets on the edge can cause some distortion to the image as they “curl away” from the main printing location. This distortion will not be visible to the naked eye. As well, objects that extend too far around the corner cannot be printed.
