Radio Spectrum Management and Monitoring

Electronic Frequency Allocation Table (E-FAT)

One of the key documents which must be in place for any regulator to be able to effectively manage the radio spectrum is a National Frequency Allocation Table (NFAT) - sometimes called a National Frequency Allocation Plan (NFAP). This document defines which services (e.g. Mobile, Amateur, Maritime, Broadcasting, Fixed, Aeronautical) are allocated which parts of the radio spectrum (or whichband of frequencies). Each national table is based on the appropriate ITU international frequency allocation table. In Europe, Africa and the Middle East, for example, every national table will be based on the ITU Region 1 table, which is then modified to take account of local frequency usage. Developing a NFAT can be a time-consuming task, as all national radio users must usually be consulted for a draft to be drawn together. Getting a draft agreed between all the parties concerned can take many months of consultation.

InterConnect Communications has prepared frequency allocation and spectrum assignment tables and documents in many countries, however we have taken the development and presentation of a NFAT to the next level. InterConnect has developed an Electronic Frequency Allocation Table (E-FAT), a demonstration of which is given below.

The E-FAT has a number of significant advantages over traditional paper-based versions, namely:

It can be developed, edited and maintained more easily and quickly.
The data uses an internationally regonised XML data format (EFIS) which can easily be imported into other spectrum management tools.
The data can be rapidly validated to check for errors.
The display of the data is fast and legible and can easily be printed directly from a web-browser.
The table can include information on applications (e.g. 'Radio Microphones') as well as frequency allocations and custom (national) footnotes.
It doesn't destroy a forest every time a modification is required!

InterConnect's E-FAT is a professional tool for 21^st century spectrum regulators and administrations which is designed to solve the problems associated with developing and maintaining a NFAT in a simple and user-friendly manner.

Electronic Frequency Allocation Table

Enter the bottom and upper frequencies you wish to search and select the particular Frequency Allocation Table you wish to view. If you wish to view the whole table (i.e. all services) leave 'ALL' clicked. If you wish, you can select to view only those allocations to a specific service by de-selecting 'ALL' and selecting those services you wish to view. If you wish to view the services which share allocations with those you have selected, also click 'include shared services'.
Note: The upper frequency can only be a maximum of 10 times the bottom frequency in this demonstration version.
