 Advantages & Disadvantages
 Conclusion

3.  RedTacton is a new Human Area networking
technology that uses the surface of the human body
as a safe, high speed network transmission path at a
speed of 10mbps.
 RedTacton uses the minute electric fields generated
by human body as medium for transmitting the data.
 It was developed by Japanese Technology NTT Lab.

5.  NTT , the Japanese telecoms group, and the team of
scientists invented the RedTacton system. "Tacton"
because with this technology, communication starts
by touching (Touch), leading to various actions (Act
on).
 As reported on Gizmodo(02/25/2008), the technology
is currently being marketed as a way to turn a human
into a swipe card.

6. Three levels of connectivity:
1.Wide Area Networks (WAN)- typically via the
Internet.
2. Local Area Networks (LAN)-typically via Ethernet
or Wi-Fi connectivity.
3.Human Area Networks (HAN)- for connectivity to
personal information, media and communication
appliances.

8.  For communication terminals should be carried by
the user or embedded in devices. It is a Duplex
communication. RedTacton uses “SUPER
SENSETIVE PHOTONIC” electric field sensor.
 The body surfaces may be any of our parts like
hands,fingers,arms,face,feet,legs.

11.  TOUCH
 BROADBAND & INTERACTIVE
 ANY MEDIA

12. NTT has made three types of protocols:
1)Redtacton Transceiver (PC card type)
2) Redtacton Transceiver (Hub type)
3) Redtacton Device (Box type)

13.  Military Applications-to provide gun security.
 Medical Applications-medicine containers could
have chips embedded in them that when touched
could send an alarm to the user.
 Consumer Applications-such as admissions systems
and payment processing devices.

14.  Secure lock administration is possible by combining
personal verification tools such as fingerprint ID
biometric in the mobile terminal.
 Red Tacton can carry music or video between
headsets, mobile devices, mobile phones.
 A communication environment can be created easily
and at low-cost Communication.

15.  It’s adoption could be slow since Bluetooth and other
radio technologies are already entrenched.
 It will be comparatively expensive.
 As it uses electric fields on the surface of the body ,it
may cause harm to the body.

16.  We conclude that, when we compare RedTacton with
other technology present today it can give a better
performance over others and to connect the network
with in short distances RedTacton is best.
 In this technology there is no problem of hackers as
our body is itself a media Human society is entering
an era of ubiquitous computing,
