For more information go to the ANT+ certification page. After Mar 31, 2025, ANT+ Adopters developing ANT+ products will be responsible for meeting the minimum requirements for interoperability by using the ANT+ documentation and ANT+ design tools.

After June 30, 2024, we will no longer be making updates to the ANT+ Directory. Products that complete certification prior to this date will be added.

Our ANT+ Annual membership program has ended. Existing members will retain their benefits until June 30, 2025.

ANT licensing is unaffected by these changes to the ANT+ Certification program. If you are manufacturing products that use the ANT soft devices  with the Nordic Semiconductor nRF52 or nRF53 series chips, you will still need to obtain a commercial license and report usage. The licensing of ANT is separate from the ANT+ Certification program.

Current products using the various ANT+ profiles will not be affected. They should still work and connect to other ANT+ enabled devices.
