INTRODUCTION

Fig1. MECHANISM OF WORKING

• The transceiver is called as “THE RED TACTON”.• Key features of SENSOR:

measure electric field from device without contacting it.

ultra wide band is possible.

one point contact measurement ,independent of earth.

Fig2: RED TACTON

APPLICATIONS

Medical applications ( eg.selection of bottles).

In touch advertising and receive information.

Instant private data exchange. Conference system. In wearable systems (portable music

player). Security applications.

Secure than other broadcasting systems.

In busy areas, there may be hundred’s of blue tooth devices running,this makes transmission a bit tougher .

As body act as aerials data is passed with ease and security.

ADVANTAGES

The transceiver can be treated a standard network device. So software running through ethernet or LAN based network can run unmodified.

10BASE communication.

FEATURES

Works in compliance with IEEE 802.3 protocol.

Independent path, so data transmission is duplex.

Various service can be triggered with human network.

Both conductor & dielectric is used as medium.

LIMITATIONS:

1.Operating range(few mts only).

2.Communication speed.

CONCLUSION

The prototypes are easy to use but they are still under study.

The technology like Redtacton is under development.

If redtacton is introduced into cyber market it will bring a tremendous change and will be adopted by many more people.
