applications

• Many new features are to be introduced in EFIS:• Date fields indicate validity of information, duplex pairing, technology in use, etc.• Provide tools to administrations to provide non-regulatory information and on evolution of spectrum

use• Provide possibility to third parties yo contribute information into EFIS• Support existing processes such as ETSI-ECC cooperation (e.g. ETSI spectrum utilisation

proposals (demand side) to be shown in EFIS at all stages)

Features introduced recently

Current and near future developments

• Cross-referencing in EFIS is being improved via tags, thumbnails and icons

• tags’ will be implemented in EFIS, to define different types of relevant information.• The tags will be shown as thumbnails under applications (for the ECA Table and for individual countries) • and will indicate that information of a particular kind is available for that particular frequency band and

application. 

• Introduction of report generation tool, making it easier in future to generate reports/summaries from EFIS and to make the information available as data (a lot of information is available in documents in EFIS)
