Consumer Electronics Daily News Thursday, January 10, 2019 3 2 ANT BLAZE: The Latest in Enterprise-Scale Mesh Networking Technology By Chris Pettigrew, ANT Wireless Product Manager at Garmin Canada Inc. ANT BLAZE is a robust and reliable enterprise-ready mesh networking tech- nology for handling high node count IoT applications in large scale environments. Capable of operating independently of existing on-premise IT infrastructures, ANT BLAZE is a solution that targets monitoring and control applications in challenging environments. It can be used concurrently with smartphones and tablets without interfering with these Bluetooth-enabled devices. Herman Miller, a market leader in commercial environments and office fur- niture design, is at the forefront of bring- ing Internet of Things into the office and was one of the first to deploy ANT BLAZE in its product offering. ANT BLAZE allowed for a solution that was both power efficient and sensor-oriented, resulting in a robust and secure mesh net- work, ideal for use in corporate office environments. As a proven, highly efficient tech- nology that effortlessly connects hun- dreds of nodes at once, companies inter- ested in harnessing IoT capabilities can utilize ANT BLAZE to monitor and control processes, equipment and assets. Networks are self-form- ing and self-healing, for ease of installation, commissioning and maintenance, resulting in a solution that doesn't require any further, arduous development work. ANT BLAZE is available on D52 ANT System-on-Chip (SoC) Premium Modules from Garmin Canada Inc. bringing valuable high-node count solu- tions to the concurrent ANT/BLE con- nectivity capability of the modules. The upgraded D52 ANT SoC Module Starter Kit (D52DK2) and an Extender Kit (D52EXT1), provide devel- opers with the development tools neces- sary to create and prove out their IoT use- case solutions. About ANT ANT is an established protocol and silicon solution for ultra-low power (ULP) practical wireless networking applications. With millions of deployed nodes, ANT is perfectly suited for any kind of low data rate sensor network topologies; from peer-to-peer or star, to practical mesh; in personal area networks (PAN) which are well suited for sports, fitness, wellness and home health applications, or in local area networks (LAN) in home and IoT applications.
