This modification is currently on hold until MP252 'Amending the process for Communications Hub returns' has an agreed solution.
What is the issue?
Communications Hubs must be installed before the relevant Installation end date as recorded in SEC Schedule 11 ‘Technical Specification Applicability Tables’ (TSAT). Where a Communications Hubs is not installed before the end date it should be returned to the DCC. The DCC will then try to refurbish that Communications Hub for redeployment. If it is not able to do so, then the Communications Hub will be reported lost or stolen. Parties are charged for these services by DCC once the outcome of a refurbishment attempt is known. The charges are: £8.27 for a Communications Hub that can be redeployed, or £30.87 for a Single Band and £58.75 for a Dual Band Communications Hub that is returned but cannot be redeployed. If a Communications Hub is not returned, the responsible Party continues to be charged the pre-installation Communication stock level charge on the Device indefinitely.
