What is red tacton?
A Human Area Networking technology which uses the surface of the human body as a safe, high speed network transmission path.
Red Tacton uses the electric field emitted on the surface of the human body.
A transmission path is formed at the moment a part of human body comes in contact with a red tacton transceiver.
Japanese company Nippon Telegraph & Corporation is pursuing research & development of an innovative Human Area Networking Technology called Red Tacton that safely turns the surface of the human body into a data transmission path at speeds up to 10Mbps .
A Red Tacton – enabled device dose not have to be in direct contact with the skin – only within about 20cm.
