INTRODUCTION

• Red Tacton is a new Human Area Network technology.

• It gives us safe and high speed network transmission.

• RedTacton is a technology developed by Japanese company NTT

• RedTacton uses weak electric fields on the surface of the body as a transmission medium.

Principle

How it works

Red Tacton relies upon the principle that the optical properties of an electro-optic crystal can vary according to the changes of a weak electric field.

Working Procedure

• Transmitting transceiver creates a change in the field

• Some field from human body dissipates into earth• Electric field is received using sensing technology• Receiving transceiver recognizes the change in the

electric field• sensing technology measures the weak electric

fields induced. • Electro-optical crystal uses laser to convert and read

the signal

Security

The transmitting and receiving electrodes of the RedTacton transceiver are completely covered with insulating film

RedTacton uses the Electric field that occurs naturally on the surface of the human body for Communication.

You decide what to share with whom and what devices you communicate with

Features

• Touch• Broadband & Interactive • Any Media

Touch

Touching, gripping, sitting, walking, stepping and other human movements can be the triggers for unlocking or locking, starting or stopping equipment, or obtaining data

Broadband & Interactive

• Duplex, interactive communication is possible at a maximum speed of 10Mbps. Because the transmission path is on the surface of the body, transmission speed does not deteriorate in congested areas where many people are communicating at the same time.

Media

In addition to the human body, various conductors and dielectrics can be used as transmission media. Conductors and dielectrics may also be used in combination

Advantages• Data transfer is faster and easier through this technology• Data loss during transfer is less• Use of minimum amount of power(of some milli volt

range)• Security is more

Drawbacks• Which has some difficulty in installing the devices• Too costly• It can be useful within few centimeters only

APPLICATIONAPPLICATION

Conclusion

• We conclude that, when we compare Red Tacton with other technology present today it can give a better performance over others

• And we can say that to connect the network with in short distances Red Tacton is best.

• In this technology there is no problem of hackers as our body is itself a media.
