Conclusions to the Communications Hubs & Networks Consultation on Changes to the Intimate Communications Hub Interface Specification (ICHIS) 2025

DCC conclusions to our consultation on proposed changes to the Intimate Communications Hub Interface Specification to extend the noise limit for 4G to cover all UK LTE bands

In June/July 2025 DCC consulted on proposed changes to the Intimate Communications Hub Interface Specification (ICHIS) to include the remainder of the 4G 800MHz frequency band and the 4G 700MHz frequency band, creating the potential for future flexibility in this service.

This is the conclusion to that consultation - responses were supportive of the proposals and changes have been made to the ICHIS.

The ICHIS is a technical document that defines a common interface between Communications Hubs and Smart Meters.
