ANT wireless has announced that their subdivision ANT+ will be supporting Garmin’s Varia line of smart cycling devices. These bicycle devices will provide the rider with an augmented biking experience with rearview bike radar, radar display unit, smart bike headlight, and taillights.
“ANT+ is proud to be contributing to an industry movement to enable safer cycling and to be part of an innovative set of products that takes riding to the next level. ANT+ enables devices within the Varia line to seamlessly connect with each other and compatible Edge ® cycling computers. ANT+ interoperability permits key information to pass between the displays and lights/sensors to simultaneously warn approaching vehicles of a cyclist ahead and warn the cyclist of vehicles that are approaching them from behind; features that can enhance the rider’s safety,” stated James Fujimoto, Director of ANT Wireless.
