Abstract--

Human Area Networking (HAN) may be defined as the technology that safely turns the surface of the human body into a data transmission path at speeds up to 10 Mbps between any two points on the body. Human Area Networks (HAN) is used for connecting to personal information, media and communication appliances within the much smaller sphere of ordinary daily activities-- the last one meter.

II.WORKING

I.RED TACTON
NTTs RedTacton is a break-through technology that, for the first time, enables reliable high-speed HAN by turning 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.

Communication starts when terminals carried by the user or embedded in devices are linked in various combinations according to the user's natural, physical movements. . A transmission path is formed at the moment a part of the human body comes in contact with a RedTacton transceiver and physically separating ends the contact and thus ends communication. A RedTacton transmitter couples with 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 electric fields affect 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.

IV. ADVANTAGES
Data transfer is faster and easier through this technology. Security is more. In the crowded areas such as meeting room due to many users, throughput can be reduced by packet collision in case of Bluetooth and wireless LAN. Using RED TACTON this problem can be solved.

V. DISADVANTAGES
It has no compelling applications that arent already available. .

III.APPLICATIONS
A. Intuitive information operation of personal

The applications of RedTacton are enormous in medical, educational, security, data transfer etc. This technology seems to be a glimpse into the future but definitely in the near future it would be much more much more realizable.

There is no need to insert smart cards, connect cables, tune frequencies, or any of the other inconveniences usually associated with today's electronic devices as touch would suffice.

C. Security applications
It could be installed on doors, cabinets and other locations calling for secure access, such that each secure access could be initiated and authenticated with a simple touch.
