2.  Introduction
 What Is Redtacton
 HAN – Human Area Network
 Redtacton Principle
 Why RedTacton
 How It works
 Redtacton and it’s needs
 Functional Features of RedTacton
 Applications
 Comparison with other technologies
 Conclusion

3.  Redtacton uses the minute electric field emitted on
the surface of human body as medium for
transmitting the data.
 RedTacton can achieve duplex communication over
the human body at a maximum speed of 10 Mbps.
 RedTacton works through shoes and clothing also.

4.  Red- Warmth,
 T-Touch ,
 Acton-Action.
 RedTacton: An innovative Human Area Networking
technology that uses the surface of the human body
as a transmission path .
 Ituses the minute electric field emitted on the
surface of the human body as a safe high speed
network transmission path.

5.  Also
known as P2P NETWORK or PICO net – point to
point network.
 RedTacton involves initiating communication with a
touch that could result in a wide range of actions in
response. Transmission path is formed when a part
of the human body comes in contact.

6.  HAN uses human body as communication network
and uses the concept of Redtacton to transmit the
data.
 HAN transmits the data between the human-
centered electronic devices and computers and
other network devices via total human natural
Physical activities.

7.  Redtacton is based on the
principle that optical
properties of electro-optic
crystal can vary
according to changes
in electric fields
 Redtacton allows information to be exchanged between
two transceivers without the need for a server to store
or process information.

8.  Redtacton receiver and transceiver
are two major devices
in the transmission.
 Redtacton majorly depends
on the human natural
physical movements
Reciever

9.  Transmitter sends data
 Transmitting transceiver
creates a change in the field
 Field from human body
dissipates into earth
 Electric field is received
using sensing technology
 Receiving transceiver
 recognizesthe change in the electric field
 Sensing technology measures the weak electric fields induced.
 Electro-optical crystal uses laser to convert and read the signal

10.  Restrictions over speed in Bluetooth and
infrared tech. in multi-user environment
 Redtacton is the Human Area Networking
technology that uses the human body as a
safe high speed networking transmission
path.

11. RedTacton has 3 functional features
1. TOUCH
2. BROADBAND & INTERACTIVE
3. ANY-MEDIA

12.  Touch: Simple physical movements like touching, Gripping,
sitting, walking are the triggers
for starting the device.

13.  Interactive: As the transmission is the surface of the body,
transmission speed does not deteriorate in congested areas.

14.  Any media: In addition to the human body, various
conductors and dielectrics can be used as
transmission media.

15. Automobile Applications
Conference Systems
Touch Advertising
Wireless Headset

17.  A Redtacton transceiver can be implanted in the gun and
programmed to a transceiver worn by a soldier so that only
the particular soldier could fire the weapon.
 This can reduce the black market of the weapons and the
misuse of stolen weapons can be reduced

18. Medical Applications
 Redtacton devices embedded
medicine bottles transmit
information on the medicines
attributes. If the user touches
the wrong medicine, an alarm
will trigger.
 Anothercritical success factor is that the cost must not
outweigh the benefits provided by the technology. Also,
another factor is that the patients accept the technology.

19. Consumer Applications:
 The seat position and steering
wheel height adjust to
match the driver just by
sitting in the car.
 Automatic importing of
personal address book
and Electronic business cards
can be shared by shaking hands

20.  The performance of RedTacton
is better as compared to other
technologies as Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth, IrDA
 It is best to connect network
within short distances.
 There is no any type of
problem of hackers as our body
itself is the transmission media.

21.  RedTacton does not require the electrode to be in direct
contact with the skin.
 Can transmit data at a rate higher than that of peer
technologies. (max. of 10Mbps)
 RedTacton transceivers are programmable and we can decide
what to share with whom and what devices you communicate
with.
 Each communication occurs in separate channels.
 Transmission speed does not deteriorate even though the
number of users increases.

22.  Data loss during transfer is less
 Useof minimum amount of power (of some milli -volt
range)
 Security is more.
 No problem of hackers . It is very hard to pick up
stray electronic signals radiating from the body.
 More secure than Bluetooth.
 Superior than infrared technology & Wi-Fi.

23.  We conclude that, when we compare RedTacton
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 RedTacton is best.
 In this technology there is no problem of hackers as
our body is itself a media.
