Network Telephone Services takes on Apple iPhone 5S application Development With M7 Co-processor at Heart.

Based on the new iPhone 5S co-processor being dedicated to continuously measuring motion, via the accelerometer, gyroscope and/or compass, the M7 Chip functions independently of the iPhone’s primary A7 processor, working on sensing when you’re walking, running or driving. Such a chip has plenty of applications, primarily for feeding data into health and fitness apps, but also for saving battery life when traveling, say by car, by stopping your iPhone’s constant hunt for in-range Wi-Fi networks.

Network Telephone Services designers are busy coding and testing for a particular client application that would mimic wearable computing and mobile health monitoring devices.

Beta testing to begin in early June with results prepared and published in early Fall.
