ANT BLAZE™ Wireless Mesh Networking Technology

Garmin Canada announces ANT BLAZE, a robust and reliable enterprise-ready wireless mesh networking technology for handling high node count IoT applications in large scale environments. ANT BLAZE operates exclusively on Garmin's D52 ANT system-on-chip (SoC) premium modules, bringing valuable high-node count solutions to the concurrent ANT/BLE connectivity capability of the Garmin module portfolio.

As a proven, highly efficient technology that effortlessly connects up to 500 nodes at once, companies interested in harnessing IoT capabilities can utilize ANT BLAZE to monitor and control processes, equipment, and assets. Robust ANT BLAZE networks of up to 500 nodes are self-forming and self-healing, providing ease of installation and maintenance when run either with or without a cloud connection. They are also reliable and enterprise-ready, acting as their own independent communications 'backbone,' and coexisting cleanly with on-premises IT infrastructures. ANT BLAZE runs on Dual-Protocol D52 ANT SoC Premium Modules, so developers can deploy ANT BLAZE networks that can be concurrently commissioned and accessed from tablets and phones using Bluetooth.

The updated D52 ANT SoC Module Starter Kit (D52DK2) contains everything needed to begin developing with ANT, ANT BLAZE, and Bluetooth low energy technology. The Extender Kit (D52EXT1) includes four battery powered nodes to enable ANT BLAZE IoT application development.

Features
  • Connect multiple nodes in a noisy environment to a gateway
  • Operates with no interference or disruptions to/from IT infrastructures
  • High throughput (>50 bytes/s)
  • Flexibility to co-exist with other ULP wireless solutions
  • Robustness and concurrent operation in Wi-Fi and BLE environments
