Tokyo Skytree plays a significant role in the transmission of digital terrestrial broadcasting in Japan. With the rise of numerous tall buildings in central Tokyo, a tower higher than 600 meters was necessary to ensure efficient broadcasting transmission. Once the transition to the new tower is complete, the volume of digital terrestrial broadcasting will be doubled, helping to mitigate the impact of the increasing number of high-rise buildings. Additionally, Tokyo Skytree is expected to expand the coverage area for "One Seg" digital terrestrial broadcasting for mobile phones. Moreover, the tower is designed to serve as a disaster-prevention facility during times of natural calamities.
