PowerPod BLE/ANT is here!
Posted: Wed Aug 24, 2016 6:52 pm
We're delighted to announce that PowerPod BLE/ANT is working! We received pre-production units today (August 24) and they are operating just as designed.
If you're attending Eurobike August 31-September 4, stop by our booth FG/AK-5, and check out PowerPod BLE/ANT for yourself!
We will get this new model into production as soon as possible.
NOTE: you will need an ANT+ speed or speed/cadence sensor to use with your PowerPod BLE/ANT. Your PP will receive speed signals from the ANT speed sensor, and then transmit its power signals simultaneously in BLE and ANT format. So, both your Garmin ANT AND your smartphone app will receive power signals.
NOTE: if you're using a BLE smartphone app, and you want to see speed and cadence data on your app, you'll need to get a combined BLE/ANT speed-cadence sensor, such as those made by Wahoo. The app will receive speed/cadence data in BLE format, and the PP will simultaneously receive speed/cadence data in ANT format.
Now that we have the BLE version of PowerPod working, we will have some more exciting announcements soon.
