  We have searched and reviewed all multi- wavelength data available for the
region towards the gamma-ray source 2FGL J2056.7+4939 in order to con- strain
its possible counterpart at lower energies. As a result, only a point-like
optical/infrared source with flat-spectrum radio emission is found to be
consistent with all X-ray and gamma-ray error circles. Its struc- ture is
marginally resolved at radio wavelengths at the sub-arcsecond level. An
extragalactic scenario appears to be the most likely interpretation for this
object.
