‘Red Tacton Technology’ Submitted by:

Vivesh Rathore Btech 3rd year

Department of electronics & Communication

SESSION 2011-2012

Developed by NTT from Japan.

Red Tacton is a new Human Area Networking technology.

Claims to send data over the surface of skin.

Attains a speed up to 10 Mbps --- equivalent to a fast broadband connection.

Uses weak electric fields on the surface of human body instead of relying on EM waves or light waves.

Red Tacton

Human Area Network

PRINCIPLE AND MECHANISM 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.

PROTOTYPES Red Tacton Transceiver(PC

card type) Communicationspeed:10Mbps Protocols: TCP/IP Communication method: Half-

duplex. Interface: PCMCIA

• Red Tacton Transceiver(Hub type)• Communicationspeed:10Mbps• Protocols :TCP/IP• Communication method : Half- duplex• Interface: RJ45

• Red Tacton Transceiver(Box type)• (under constructions)

How Red Tacton works?

Block Diagram of RedTacton Transceiver

AdvantagesCommunication by just a Simple Touch thus

eliminating use of hectic arrangements of wires.Red Tacton provides high speed and accuracy . Red Tacton transceiver electrodes are covered

with an insulating film, so there is no way current can flow into users body.

Very secure Data Transmission i.e., there is no problem of hacking since medium is our individual body.

No need to insert smart cards, connect cables, tune frequencies, or any of the other inconveniences usually associated with today's electronic devices.

Complex in Design.

It is expensive as compared to other mechanism.

Widespread marketing campaigns and education.

Security applications

User verification and unlocking with just a touch

Automatic access log for confidential document storage

Conclusion The performance of Red Tacton is better as compared to other technologies within short distance.

There is no any type of problem of hackers as our body itself is the transmission media.

Today main issue is speed which is solved by Red Tacton by providing very high speed of 10 Mbps within short distances.

The evolution of this technology is a big achievement which would likely to be targeted for use in applications such as wireless headset ,medical application ,security applications and wireless transmission.
