Make connections
ANT Radio Service developed by ANT Wireless is an application that connects your phone to fitness devices. Normally, it comes pre-installed and runs always in the background. However, if not, you may just need to download it.
Forget it is even there
Communication between your fitness hardware and mobile devices is very important for making the most out of them.
This radio service software is minuscule in file size so you won’t have to worry about it consuming space on your device. However, the program is constantly running so you ay notice a drop in battery life.
Since it’s running always, it can cause the app to consume unnecessary CPU on your mobile. Normally, it collects the information off of devices connected to it. If you aren’t using them, you can disable the software.
Disabling the app won’t have any repercussions. It is much like turning off other ANT+ on a Samsung. T
Where can you run this program?
You can use it on Android 2.1 and onwards.
Is there a better alternative?
No, there are no other options for Ant Radio Service. ANT+ wireless is the only app that provides your phone with the ability to communicate with devices that run off of their network system.
Our take
Overall, there isn’t much to say about the application. Most people probably won’t notice it in their software, as it is such a small program. Nevertheless, you can notice it in draining a small amount of CPU. If that’s an issue, you can disable it.
Should you download it?
Yes. If you can’t find it on your phone and you have an ANT+ device, you should get it.
