The Tokyo Metropolitan Government is planning to use 'special drone zones' for conducting verification tests, resulting in the transmission of high-resolution images and longer flight distances for drones. Currently, drones are permitted to use the same frequency bands as wireless local area networks (LANS), with limits on the power of radio waves which restrict the operation within a 300 metres radius and image transmission of a maximum distance of three km. The tests will include chasing away monkeys from farmland and natural disaster relief.
