Session 4: ECO Frequency Information System (EFIS) Peter Faris, European Communications Office 5th CEPT workshop on “European Spectrum Management and Numbering” ECO, 26 October 2017

Overview Presentation will be supported Link to National Tables EFIS sections Information section Tricks Follow update history Srdoc and draft Srdoc – new applications Finally - ask questions Presentation will be supported by online demonstrations and examples

What is EFIS? EFIS is the tool to fulfill EC Decision 2007/344/EC on the harmonised availability of information regarding spectrum use in Europe - and the ECC Decision ECC/DEC/(01)03 on EFIS. It’s an information system – not a spectrum planning tool. EFIS hosts only public information. National information is uploaded into EFIS by the National Regulatory Authorities. The application terminology is defined in ECC Decision (01)03 Annex 2. The Commission Implementing Decision 2013/195/EU defines the practical arrangements, uniform formats and a methodology in relation to the radio spectrum inventory established by the RSPP. Data from the EFIS database is a core part of spectrum inventory established by the RSPP. According to recital 24 of the Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU, Member states are to use the Frequency Information System (EFIS) of the European Communications Office (ECO) in order to make comparable information regarding the use of radio spectrum in each Member State available to the public via the internet.

Now created out of the EFIS

EFIS Information Sections Allocations and Applications: classical search and graphical view Documentation section National Radio Interface Specifications RoU (Rights-of-Use) – mostly public mobile bands but not exclusively All information can be downloaded in csv files Complete inclusion of ERC Recommendation 70-03 on SRDs in EFIS including national implementation information. Complete inclusion of the European Common Allocation Table (ERC Report 25) Info about military use will be improved. Military use imposes national restrictions. The content of ECO Report 03 containing the licence information in the ECS frequency bands is now also fully in EFIS available and for 45 CEPT countries; Complete inclusion of ECO Report 04 (Fixed Services) in EFIS including national implementation information. Electronic Questionnaire Information in EFIS PMSE module added early 2017 after publication of revised Recommendation T/R 25-10

Spectrum Inventory Related Information in EFIS

EFIS Sections Frequency bands: see allocations and applications together for one country/table Allocations (major spectrum identification, but no details) Applications (more detailed than allocations, also links to documents and notes) Radio interfaces (most detailed) Rights-of-Use: individual licence information Documents (regulatory and informative, by default: all) Information

Information Includes many explanations Class 1 subclasses Follow changes

Example Update history (how to follow changes)

How to limit the search to the frequency range I’m interest in??

How to find everything on one specific subject Example: you want all ECC, EC, ETSI deliverables Select all document types (regulatory but also informative) Table: Europe Limit the frequency range to just the inside (example: if your write 2400, then the lower adjacent band is in the search)

Most detailed: radio interfaces - example

New applications in ETSI-ECC process: SRdoc&draft SRdoc

Sources of information/relevant documents for detailed guidance/information on EFIS www.efis.dk and EFIS website page and www.ecodocdb.dk or http://test.ecodocdb.dk/docdb/ (all documents are available here) ECC Report 180 on guidance on the interpretation of requirements in ECC/DEC/(01)03 ECC/DEC/(01)03 on EFIS List of searchable allocations (Annex 1) List of searchable applications (Annex 2) is updated as required (EFIS/MG proposes changes to WGFM, if appropriate) ECO Report 03 Mobile Licences in Europe ECO Report 04 Fixed Service in Europe ECO Report 05 (mapping of CEPT/ECC Deliverables and applications terminology) ECA Table European Common Allocations Table Rec. 25-10 Audio and Video PMSE Links to National Tables/ Websites Background info: CEPT Reports 46 and 47

Some information is not in EFIS but in the new DocDB Document archive Applicable attachments to documents (e.g. Seamcat workspaces, notifications) ERC/ECC Decision implementation status (if not related to SRD, FS or PMSE module in EFIS) Harmonised standard sup-parts Consequently: we will try to find solutions to overcome this More links between EFIS and new DocDB Common information input Work with ETSI using ETSI doc IDs
