Redtacton uses the human body as a wireless network by inducing weak electric fields on the skin's surface. Data can be transmitted through clothing and shoes at speeds up to 10 Mbps. A transmitter induces the electric field on the skin, sensors detect the field and send it to a RED TACTON receiver where the signals are processed and data downloaded. The electric field dissipates into the earth from the human body. Japanese company NTT plans to launch a product that transmits data via the body, allowing users to access services and devices with a touch.
2. What is redtacton?
uses the surface of the human body as a safe, high
speed network transmission path.
minute electric field emitted
works through shoes and clothing as well.
Can achieve duplex communication upto speed of 10mbps
4. MECHANISM OF
COMMUNICATION
Transmitter sends data
Electric field is
received using sensing
technology
Field from human body
dissipates into earth
sensing technology
measures the weak
electric fields induced.
6. Human Area Network
Enable ubiquitous services based on humancentered interactions and therefore more
intimate and easier for people to use.
7. One to one services
Intuitive fields
Security applications
8. Japanese telecom company NTT is soon to launch a product that
transmits data via your body, effectively turning you into a touchtechnology swipe card.
