Red Tacton
Future of communication
Submitted by: Swati S.kumar ECE, 7sem,IV year
BACKGROUND
.
NTT (Nippon Telegraph & Telephone Corporation) in Tokyo, Japan developed a new breakthrough with a human area networking technology RED TACTON in 2005
HAN Human Area Network the last meter Transmits data utilizing bodys electric field.
The body becomes its own Ethernet cable
High speed up to 10 mbps Very secure
RED-warmth TACTON-T for touch,ACTON for action
PRINCIPLE OF RED TACTON
PRINCIPAL OF RED TACTON
Redtacton is based on the principle that optical properties of electro-optic crystal can vary according to changes in electric fields
Only a portion of the induced electricfield is sensed by the receiving RED TACTON device . The remaining electric fields are dissipated to the ground The electric field Es that reaches the receiver is Es = Ea (Eb + Ec)
HOW RED TACTON WORKS?
HOW RED TACTON WORKS?
Using a new super-sensitive photonic electric field sensor, RedTacton can achieve duplex communication over the human body at a maximum speed of 10 Mbps. 1. The RedTacton transmitter induces a weak electric field on the surface of the body. 2. The RedTacton receiver senses changes in the weak electric field on the surface of the body caused by the transmitter. 3. RedTacton relies upon the principle that the optical properties of an electro-optic crystal can vary according to the changes of a weak electric field. 4. RedTacton detects changes in the optical properties of an electro-optic crystal using a laser and converts the result to an electrical signal in a optical receiver circuit
FEATURES
TOUCH
1)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 AND INTERACTIVE
Duplex, interactive communication is possible at a maximum speed of 10Mbps.
Transmission speed does not deteriorate in congested areas
ANY MEDIA
CONDUCTORS and DIELECTRICES can be used
RED TACTON TRANSRECEIVER BLOCK DIG.
HUMAN SAFETY
The transmitting and receiving electrodes of the transceiver are completely covered with insulated film. Impossible for current to flow from the transceiver to the human body. When communication occurs, displacement current is generated by the electrons in the body because body is subjected to minute electrical fields.

One-to-One services
An alarm sounds automatically to avoid accidental medicine ingestion.
Touching advertising and receive information
Intuitive operation of personal information devices
Touch a printer to print
Instantaneous private network via personal handshake
Device personalization
Just sitting in the seat triggers the car to load all its presets as the way you like. Just touching a phone makes it your own.
New behavior patterns
Connect to the network just by putting a lap-top on a table Wireless headset
Security applications
User verification and unlocking with just a touch
Automatic access log for confidential document storage
COMMERCIALISATION
FIRMO
Firmo Kit is used as an alternative to short-range wireless security-card entrance/exit systems.
NTT claim Firmo provides a higher degree of security than other technologies
Microsoft last year patented a system for "transmitting power and data using the human body". It's based on the IBM concept, but MS sees the technology being used primarily for power, rather than data transfers
ADVANTAGES
Faster Secure Less power consumption Communication in congested and routine life is easy and possible. Wired connection can be replaced. Reliability
DISADVANTAGES
It has no compelling applications that arent already available.
Too costly.
Widespread marketing campaigns and education.
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
