ANT Forum

I’d like to get a little clarification on ANT capabilities. The FAQ states that mesh networking is not supported in the ANT protocol. The data sheet for the NRF24AP2 lists practical mesh as a topology supported. Is this a contradiction?      

The ANT protocol stack does not comprise a network layer (ISO/OSI layer 3), so ANT does not natively support ROUTING through a meshed network.

Of course you can write application code for this, e.g. for a "concentrator" node that picks up readings from several ANT equipped sensors and routes them to other nodes "higher up".

Cheers,
