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.

To better detail our position in favour of full-fibre, compared to alternative broadband technologies, the FTTH Counci Europe's Deployment & Operations Committee has produced this white paper, on the results of a survey run among its members in order to compare a range of fibre or fibre-extension-based broadband technologies that can help Service Providers, Investors, Municipalities and Government entities provide broadband connections to communities.

The survey assessed various broadband technologies using weighted parameters such as technical factors, quality, energy consumption, cost, and future-proofness. Conducted among FTTH Council Europe D&O Committee companies, the study may exhibit a bias toward fiber technologies. Participants provided qualitative assessments, and results were combined based on parameter weightings. Due to high variance in network footprints, the study offers a subjective ranking, advising readers to perform their own analysis to determine the best parameter combinations for their specific needs.
