ERC REPORT - 25 - European Table of Frequency Allocations and Applications (ECA Table)

Oct 12, 2026

Upload by Noah

ERC Report 25 presents the European Table of Frequency Allocations and Applications (ECA Table) for the frequency range 8.3 kHz to 3000 GHz. The report explains ECC objectives and the governance process for developing and maintaining the table through Working Group Frequency Management and the European Communications Office. It outlines how ECA information supports CEPT countries in shaping common positions, updating decisions and recommendations, and serving as a reference for national frequency allocation planning and future ITU World Radiocommunication Conferences.

These objectives cover topics such as 1 the development of common European positions and proposals for use in the framework of international regional bodies; 2 the harmonisation the use of radio spectrum and satellite orbits within Europe in order to facilitate their efficient use; 3 considering the requirements of users and industry; 4 the maintenance of a multi-annual Strategic Plan. In order to achieve these objectives CEPT endorsed in 2002 the principle of adopting a harmonised European Table of Frequency Allocations and Applications to establish a strategic framework for the use of the radio spectrum in Europe. After a detailed review in 2010 of the key principles defining the ECA Table, WG FM concluded at its meeting in February 2011 that the ECA Table should essentially deliver information on the current situation, although some future oriented information could still be maintained for some specific frequency bands. The task of developing and maintaining the ECA Table is the responsibility of the Working Group Frequency Management (WG FM) . Much of this work is carried out by the European Communications Office ( ECO) on behalf of WG FM and a fully searchable electronic version of the ECA can be found at: [https://efis.cept.org](https://efis.cept.org). The factual information of the ECA Table will typically be updated by the ECO three times a year, after every ECC meeting. These amendments will not require a public consultation.

FAQs

What is the ECA Table and what frequency range does it cover?

The ECA Table is the European Table of Frequency Allocations and Applications. It covers the frequency range from 8.3 kHz to 3000 GHz.

Who is responsible for developing and maintaining the ECA Table?

The development and maintenance responsibility lies with the Working Group Frequency Management (WG FM), with much of the work carried out by the European Communications Office (ECO) on its behalf.

How is the ECA Table information updated over time?

Factual information is typically updated by ECO three times a year after each ECC meeting, without requiring a public consultation. Fundamental updates are carried out at least after each WRC and undergo a CEPT wide public consultation.
