As a facility supporting broadcasting and communication infrastructure, it plays a vital role in supporting society by ensuring safe and stable equipment operation.

As a radio tower

The main role of TOKYO SKYTREE is to mitigate the problem of radio waves being difficult to reach areas blocked by numerous high-rise buildings in the city center, and to serve as a reliable broadcasting tower that maintains its functionality even during major disasters. It is intended to be used in various fields, such as enabling comfortable viewing of terrestrial digital broadcasting and FM Radio broadcasting.
By installing antennas in high-rise buildings, it becomes possible to reduce interference from other buildings during radio wave transmission and reception.
Furthermore, it offers advantages such as expanding the coverage area, reducing areas where radio waves cannot reach, and lowering costs related to the development of relay facilities and other infrastructure.

As a disaster prevention base

By installing cameras and observation equipment at high altitudes, it is possible to obtain information from heights that cannot be obtained from other facilities in urban areas. Currently, a Disaster prevention camera is installed at a height of around 300m above ground level, providing a wide-ranging view of the area around TOKYO SKYTREE , playing a role in regional disaster prevention. In order to maintain its functionality even during major disasters, TOKYO SKYTREE is a building with higher performance and safety than ordinary skyscrapers, making it suitable for use as a disaster prevention base.

TOKYO SKYTREE is used for various research and observation activities, taking advantage of its height. A lightning observation device is installed at a height of 497 meters above ground level. Lightning observation equipment at this height is rare worldwide, and research is being conducted to clarify the characteristics of lightning. In addition, various other research and observation activities are carried out, including atmospheric composition and greenhouse gas observations. Besides research and observation use, short-term use for equipment verification and communication testing is also possible.
