John. Read some previous ANN. Eg 6 june 2016. IOT announced they were distributing all AEE drones to Japan. Earlier they had announced a partner in Japan for ROAMe too. See 19 oct 2015...sales agency signed with Ueyama and associates
I have not seen any mention on sales in Japan since. Announcing that you are going to to something isnt the same as doing it.
