/EINPresswire.com/ -- COCHRANE, AB--(Marketwired - September 26, 2017) - ANT Wireless, innovator in ultra-low power (ULP) wireless technology, today announces the first ANT/BLE production-ready software S332 SoftDevice, interoperable with Bluetooth 5. The S332 ANT/BLE SoftDevice update from ANT Wireless supports concurrent operation of both protocols, meaning developers don't have to choose between ANT and Bluetooth to utilize the latest technologies. The upgraded ANT/BLE S332 SoftDevice supports Dynastream's latest products, G.FIT for group fitness and ANT BLAZE for mesh networking.

The S332 SoftDevice is intended for Nordic Semiconductor's nRF52832 SoC. It provides a Bluetooth 5-compliant version of ANT's dual-protocol ANT/BLE stack for customers who build products utilizing both protocols simultaneously. The S332 SoftDevice supports all key Bluetooth 5 updates.

"With this new ANT/BLE production-ready software stack, we're committed to pushing beyond current capabilities to meet an urgent need for greater connectivity and monitoring capabilities," said James Fujimoto Director at ANT Wireless.

These enhancements are extended to Dynastream's D52 SoC Modules, one of the most advanced low-energy module products used by an increasing number of ANT product developers both in ANT's traditional market of sport and fitness, and the expanding markets of monitoring and control for high node count applications. Bluetooth capabilities are an important factor in developing these products and ANT Wireless seamlessly integrates with the latest in BLE functionality.
