H uman Ar ea Networks (HAN) is used for connecting to personal information, media and communi cat ion appl iances withi n the muc h smal ler sphe re of ordi nary dai ly activities-- the last one meter . I.RED TACTON NTT’s Re dTacton is a br ea k- thr ou gh technology that, for the first time, enables rel iab le high-s pee d HAN by tur ning the surface of the human body as a safe, high speed network transmission path. RedTacton uses weak electric fields on the surface of the body as a transmission medium.

A transmission path is formed at the moment a part of the human body comes in contac t with a RedTacton trans ceive r and physically separating ends the contact and thus ends communication. A Re dTacton transmi tte r co uples wi th extremely weak electric fields on the surface of the body. The weak electric fields pass through the body to a RedTacton receiver, where the weak el ectr ic fiel ds af fect the optical properties of an electro-optic crystal. The extent to which the optical properties are changed is detected by laser light which is then converted to an electrical signal by a detector circuit.
