RedTacton Personal Area Network
What is RedTacton?
HAN – Human Area Network – the last meter
Transmits data utilizing body’s electric field
The body becomes its own Ethernet cable
High speed – up to 10 mbps
Very secure
How it works
Step by Step
Transmitting transceiver creates a change in the field
Receiving transceiver recognizes the change in the electric field
Electro-optical crystal uses laser to convert and read the signal
Security
Requires physical contact
Must be wearing the transceiver and touching something else with a transceiver
Less potential for wireless interference and between other RedTacton devices
Allows for encryption and authentication
Programmable
You decide what to share with whom and what devices you communicate with
Caveats
No military experience
Not members of the NRA
Only experience with the military and guns is from TV and movie exposure
Staged Adoption
2008
Must-do
Develop the technology
Staged Adoption

Other Applications
Medical
- insulin pump
Consumer
Turnstile
General Security
Swipe card
Competitive Viability
Power of Buyers v. Power of Suppliers
Power is with the device manufacturers
What is a device?
Cell phones, PDA’s
Any device we wish to communicate with
Buyers may demand monetary benefit to include new technology
New technology may require significant design changes
R&D still needed
Government, Military, or medical professionals
Competition
Bluetooth
Zigbee
IrDA
UWB
Skinplex
Verichip
Obstacles
Time & cost
Needs to gain popularity to pull instead of push
Widespread marking campaigns and education
Not useful unless many people adopt it
Predictions
Medical
This area has the financial resources available for Research and Development and it also has the potential to be beneficial to a large percentage of the population.
Predictions
Military
If the military adopts this technology is it likely the public would never see it.
Consumer Applications
Necessary funding for continued R&D does not make this a likely scenario in the next decade
