Why RedTacton
 Implementation 

of ubiquitous services .

Safe and high speed network transmission path. Communication between people and object in close proximity.

What is RedTacton? RedTacton?

Developed by NTT LAB in Japan. Uses surface of body for safe and high speed transmission Transmits data utilizing body s electric field. High speed up to 10 mbps. Very secure.

HAN Human Area Network

Uses a transmitter and a receiver, or a transceiver, which provides both functions.

How it works? works?

Point to Point Network Transceivers exchange information no server Optical properties of electro-optic crystal varies based on electric field

Data received using photonic electric field sensor combined with electro-optic crystal and laser light

Principle of Red Tacton

Fluctuation in electric fields leads to variation in optical properties Detection of these variations and retrieving the original data using laser light Es = Ea (Eb+Ec)

Step by Step
Transmitting transceiver creates a change in the field. Receiving transceiver recognizes the change in the electric field. ElectroElectro-optical crystal uses laser to convert and read the signal.

Human area networks

Some applications are best served by Human Area Networks (HANs)

Human-centered interactions and therefore more intimate and easier for people to use.

Features

RedTacton has three main functional features. Touch Broadband & Interactive Any media

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

Communication starts when terminals carried by the user or embedded in devices are linked in various combinations through physical contact according to the human's natural movements.

Broadband And Interactive

Maximum communication speed of 10mbps.

Communication does not deteriorate in congested areas.

Any media

Various conductors, dielectrics and their combination can be used as transmission media.

Applications
One to one services Intuitive operations Personalizations New behaviour patterns Security applications

One To One Services

An alarm sounds automatically to avoid accidental medicine ingestion.

Touch advertising and receive information.

Intuitive Operations
Touch a printer to print.

Instantaneous private network via personal handshake.

Personalizations
Just touching a phone makes it your own.

Just sitting in the seat triggers the car to load all its presets, just the way you like.

New Behaviour Patterns

Connect to the network just by putting a lap-top on the table.

Wireless headset

Security Applications
User verification and unlocking with just a touch.

Automatic access log for confidential document storage.

Human Safety
The transmitting and receiving electrodes of the RedTacton transceiver are completely covered with insulating film, so the body of the person is completely insulated. When communication occurs ,displacement current is generated by the electrons in the body because the body is subjected to minute electrical fields. RedTacton conforms to the Radio Frequency-Exposure protection Standard (RCR STD-38) issued by the Association of Radio Industries and Businesses (ARIB)

Prototypes
Security Devices(Development Complete) Portable card size transmitter Transmitting rate:230 kbps Protocol:Proprietary protocol Transmission method:Unidirectional

Embedded Receiver Transmission rate: 230Kbps Protocol: Proprietary protocol Transmission method: Unidirectional External device interface: 10/100 BASE-T ; RS232C

Data Transmission Devices-(in development) PC card transceiver Transmission rate: 10Mbp Protocol: TCP/IP Transmission method: Half-duplex Terminal interface: PCMCI

Embedded Receiver Transmission rate: 10Mbp Protocol: TCP/IP Transmission method: Half-duplex External device interface: 10BASE-T USB Transceiver Transmission rate not yet determined (in testing stage)

Advantages
More secure than Bluetooth. Superior than infrared technology. Superior than Wi-Fi. A communication environment can be created easily and at low-cost. Communication environment can be formed with items close at hand like desks, walls and metal objects. Reduces heavy antennas and receivers like devices to carry.

Closing Thought
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. If red tacton is introduced into cyber market it brings a marvelous & tremendous change and will be adopted by many more people in future.
