Red Tacton: An Emerging Trend in Communication

Abstract

Human area networking (HAN) is an emerging trend in the field of communication. Red tacton is a technology that uses human body as a medium for transfer of data. Red tacton uses IEEE 802.3 standard to achieve a data rate of 10 Mbps. Red tacton transceivers use the body's electrical field to transmit digital messages. Optical crystal and laser technology converts the changes in electrical field back into a signal at the receiver. This method of data transfer is harmless. This method is user friendly and fast. It also has an additional advantage of being independent of the environment in which it is used in. This paper describes briefly about this emerging technology, its features and applications.
