SNS Format – Alphanumeric Data
• SNS Database Design is based on Appendix 4, Annex 2 Of the Radio Regulations
• Each World Radio Communication Conference introduces new resolutions and changes to
Change to the the Radio Regulations
SNS format
Version 6.1
Version 7
• Decisions taken at WRC 2007
• AP30B
• Sensor Information
• Decisions taken at WRC 2012
• New AP4 data items
• New tables to support the new due diligence procedure for 21-22.4 GHz (RES553)
• New table to maintain the link to group level diagrams in the GIMS database
• Improvements for internal processing

Impact of moving from V6 to Version 7
Use BR
Soft to
create
filings
Install New V7 BR Soft and
database changes will be
transparent
Use
other
means
to
create
filings
You will need to modify your
software to take the new SNS
V7 format into account
