ECO Frequency Information System (EFIS) Database
54 CRAF Meeting, 31 May – 1 June 2012
Overview
• EFIS is the information tool to fulfill the ECC Decision ECC/DEC/(01)03 and the EC Decision 2007/344/EC on the harmonised availability of information regarding spectrum use in Europe
• 42 CEPT countries (incl. all EU member states) are represented in EFIS, plus an ITU table and the ECA table (ECA database now merged into EFIS – up for next amendment by Sept. 2012)
• Further countries are underway (Belarus, Macedonia FYROM, Russian Federation, Ukraine, Albania, Georgia)
• EFIS contains the following data types (regulatory information):– Allocations– Applications– Radio interfaces– Documents– Right of use info
EFIS element Number of items in database
Frequency allocation entries 50,035
Frequency applications 41,742
Applications terms 323
Allocation terms 116
EFIS users 51
Frequency tables (active users) 43
Radio interfaces 10,359
Related documents 7,648
Related document types 13
Radio interface notes 1,875,663
New section in EFIS: Spectrum Inventory
• New section/page in EFIS: ‘Spectrum inventory information’ containing non-regulatory information about the actual use of the spectrum
• With non-regulatory information about the actual spectrum use• ECC-ECO (all CEPT, ECC, ECO Reports, spectrum review, ECC
questionnaire results);• ETSI SRdoc information, requested by ETSI to be made available in
the ECA/EFIS);• National spectrum inventory information (Uploaded by NRAs);• Publicly available EU/EC information;• Third party documentation (ECC MoU/LoU partners) -> CRAF
• ECC/ERC Decision/Recommendations shown in EFIS including link to European map showing implementation of the Decs/Recs
Software enhancements
• Improved export of data from EFIS (in table formats)
• Further development: “restricted” areas and related enhanced account management to support information collection processes (e.g. spectrum reviews/inventories) whenever triggered by the ECC
• Electronic questionnaires and report creation
• Existing EFIS 3-layer application terms as well as spectrum inventory application categories provided - optionally and in a compatible way through mapping – for both options, selection windows will be available.
• Establishment of spectrum inventory contact list based on existing EFIS contact list
• Test system for administrations
Additional developments and guidance
• Guidance, incl. structuring of the information for uploading national non-regulatory information on the evolution of spectrum use is given in the new ECC Report 180 which has been approved for the public consultation by ECC WGFM in April 2012.
• The bands (incl. application and requested format for the information) of interest for which National non-regulatory information is requested by ECC can be updated on demand. The software is more flexible and allows the collection of information also on other bands if available.
• Exchange of best practices for national inventory actions in ECC WGFM
• Online translation – tool: English and national language(s) possible
Radio Astronomy
Continuum measurements
Spectral line observations

Outlook – Concluding Remarks
• The EFIS database continues to be developed and can in the future also be used for spectrum inventory purposes to a large extent
• The outline provided here does not lead to complex solutions but further develops EFIS into a tool that minimises the administrative burden on Member States and reduces costs
• It is vital to avoid discrepancies between several databases, and for resource management optimisation to have one common database relating to spectrum matters in EC and CEPT
• EFIS will handle the collection and processing of data. However, EFIS will not analyse data.
