On October 20, 2025, Japan, through the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC), established two new technical standards. These standards apply to the Outdoor Use of Wireless Power Transmission (WPT) Systems in the 920 MHz Frequency Band, 800 MHz Band Broadband Low-Power Wireless Communications Systems, and 3D Positioning Systems.
These new technical standards are part of the technical requirements for beam wireless power transmission systems, improvements to low-power wireless communication systems, and improvements to commercial land radio communication systems.
The new technical standards in Japan are quite lengthy. This article will summarize the key points for your better understanding.
New Technical Standards for WPT
New standards for the use of wireless power transmission (WPT) systems on the 920 MHz frequency band apply at distances of five to ten meters. These standards are designed for low power levels, typically tens of milliwatts.
The purpose of this technical standard is to facilitate greater flexibility in location placement. For example, for Internet of Things (IoT) devices in factories, warehouses, and outdoor environments. This new standard is an effort by MIC to take broader steps in promoting the adoption of WPT technology in Japan.
New Standards for Systems in the 800 MHz Band
New standards for Systems in the 800 MHz Band have been implemented to utilize frequencies from digital MCA systems that are being phased out. The 800 MHz Band Broadband Low-Power Wireless Communications Systems is designed to improve regulations for low-power devices. The goal is to support more robust IoT and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications.
As for the 3D Positioning System, it has been updated to support advanced positioning technologies. This has the potential to improve logistics solutions, asset tracking, and industrial automation.
The Impact of Japan Type Approval
New standards for WPT and systems in the 800 MHz band will certainly have an impact on Japan type approval. The impact will certainly be felt in every matter relating to certification applications for WPT devices, low-power 800 MHz broadband wireless communication systems, and 3D positioning systems, which will now require compliance with the new standards.
This means that every manufacturer, importer, and distributor who wants to market these devices to the Japanese market needs to use these standards as a reference. Regulatory updates often change testing mechanisms, so it is important to stay up to date with regulatory changes.
