Human area networks
oRedTacton is a technology developed by Japanese
company NTT, which claims it can send data over the
surface of the skin at speeds of up to 10Mbps --
equivalent to a fast broadband data connection.
oRedTacton takes a different technical approach.
Instead of relying on electromagnetic waves or light
waves to carry data, RedTacton uses weak electric
fields on the surface of the body as a transmission
medium.
oThe name chosen for this technology is derived from
“tacton” meaning “action triggered by touching”
combined with red, which in Japanese culture is an
auspicious color with connotations of warmth and
love, to convey the cordiality and warmth of
interpersonal communications.
The transmitting and receiving electrodes of the
RedTacton transceiver are completely covered with
insulating film, so the body of the person acting as
the transmission medium is completely insulated.
This makes it impossible for current to flow into a
person’s body from the transceiver.
When communication occurs , displacement
current is generated by the electrons in the body
because the body is subjected to minute electrical
fields. However, such displacement currents are
very common everyday occurrences to which we
are all subjected.
RedTacton conforms to the “Radio Frequency-
Exposure protection Standard (RCR STD-38)”
issued by the Association of Radio Industries and

 Broadband and interactive
•Duplex, interactive communication is possible at a maximum speed of 10Mbps.
Because the transmission path is on the surface of the body, transmission speed
does not deteriorate in congested areas where many people are communicating at
the same time.
• Maximum communication speed may be slower than 10Mbps depending on the
usage environment.

Practical Application
Firmo
Firmo Kit is used as an alternative to short-range
wireless security card entrance/exit systems. NTT
claims Firmo provides a higher degree of security
than other technologies.
Why RedTacton
• More secure than Bluetooth.

• Superior than infrared technology.

• Superior than Wi-Fi.

It has no compelling applications that aren’t
already available.

Too costly.
