What do the letters ANT in ANT+ mean?

Question

What do the letters ANT in ANT+ mean.

I understand the logic but not the "acronym", where do the words come from.

Reference: ANT+ (built on the base ANT protocol) defines device profiles that specify data formats, channel parameters and network keys. ANT+ is an interoperable wireless transfer capability that can be used with the basic ANT protocol.

Thanks
