TOKYO SKYTREE is the world’s tallest free-standing broadcasting tower, established in 2012, with the height of 634 meters. The major role of TOKYO SKYTREE is transmission of digital terrestrial broadcasting. “Lightning Observation” is another important function of this tower. The observation device (Rogowski Coil) is installed at the height of 497 meters.
