Dynastream Innovations Inc Announces Availability of G.FIT Fitness Equipment Modules for Reliable Connectivity in Group Fitness Settings

A New Reliability Benchmark for Wireless Fitness Equipment Coexistence, Heart Rate Sensors, and Group / Leaderboard Applications Has Arrived

/EINPresswire.com/ -- COCHRANE, AB--(Marketwired - September 21, 2017) - Dynastream Innovations today announced the production readiness of G.FIT, a turnkey ANT+ and Bluetooth® low energy technology solution for fitness equipment in group fitness use cases such as leaderboard applications. As the third generation of Dynastream fitness modules, G.FIT offers best-in-class functionality and support for 50+ concurrent devices. Integrators can take advantage of dual-protocol support for fitness equipment device profiles, plus list and proximity-based pairing of heart rate sensors.

Designed with group fitness in mind, G.FIT modules provide the out-of-box capabilities that fitness equipment manufacturers need. In addition, The G.FIT Library and SDK can be used to write custom applications for G.FIT modules so manufacturers can build on the already robust G.FIT feature set to create a tailored experience for their customers.

"With the launch of G.FIT, we wanted to start a new era for wireless fitness equipment in gym and class environments," said Mike Rounding, Product Manager, ANT Wireless. "We wanted to address the coexistence challenges of these spaces, and still provide the rich features we know gyms and clubs expect to help create new client experiences. With 50+ G.FIT devices operating concurrently. It's the competitive edge that equipment manufacturers and gyms are looking for."

The G.FIT solution features:

  • Enhanced coexistence for group and class use cases
  • ANT+ Heart Rate and FE-C (broadcast) device profile support
  • Bluetooth low energy Heart Rate Profile and Service; Fitness Machine Service
  • Proximity (RSSI) and list pairing modes for ANT+ and Bluetooth heart rate devices
  • Easy integration with preloaded features via simple serial interface
  • Field upgrades via serial or wireless connection
  • Support for custom G.FIT applications using the G.FIT Library and SDK
