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!

The exponential rate at which technology is developing, mutating, and adapting is so fast that we have to apply certain effort to keep pace with technological change and how it will affect our business and lives. While the future is becoming more difficult to predict with each passing year, an accelerating pace of technological change can be expected. To date, technology has literally changed every aspect of the way any business operates and never before in history has that change occurred so fast.

During this panel session, our Director General Vincent Garnier joined other prominent representatives from our sister Councils in an expert conversation around the state of fibre optic in the different regions of the globe.

Conext 2022 aimed to keep participants informed of the sector advancements as we explore the world of Digital Infrastructure as well as its impact on the industry and the opportunities it holds for the continent.
