About the Committee

The Data Centre & Data Centre Interconnection Committee is the FTTH Council Europe's newest committee, established to reflect the Council's expanded remit across data centres and the fibre infrastructure that connects them.

The Committee's current work programme includes a report on hollow core fibre (HCF) and multi-core fibre (MCF), a DCI market study developed with the Board, and updates to the Market Panorama to capture the Council's broader scope. Alongside this, the Committee is developing a programme of educational webinars for members on AI-driven data centres, covering the underlying drivers and market trends, internal data centre architectures and wider interconnection architectures.

The Committee also leads the data centre and interconnection content at the annual FTTH Conference, shaping several hours of programming across the full breadth of the Council's expanded remit.
Further outputs will follow, including new assets, market studies and content developed for the upcoming FTTH Conference. Click here and join us!

This page is new and still growing. The Committee's assets, studies and Conference materials are currently in production and will be added here as they are published. In the meantime, you can follow the Committee's latest news below.

Everyone knows that broadband access is absolutely essential in today's changed world, and fibre deployment plays a key role in this. However, fibre by itself is not sufficient. We should look further into the home, so that the amazing opportunities offered by fibre deployment can actually be realised, and end-users finally get the experience they deserve.

This Guide was written to help Communication Service Providers understand the topic of ‘In-home Broadband Excellence’, and determine the right path forward for their organisation. It raises three questions, each building upon the previous, which need to be answered in turn in order to get to an optimised solution:

· How to extend fibre performance to the end device?

· How to manage the user experience?

· How to add value and monetise it?

In this third edition edition, the IBE Guide updates a lot of its content to describe new technologies such as Wi-Fi 7 and FTTR, to describe state of the art handling of containers to deliver new services flexibly and scalably, an expansion on Wi-Fi mesh deployment methods and information for technicians to install Wi-Fi in the home in an effective and consistent way.
