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!

Expert Roundtable "Breaking Dawn for the Lightwave" - organised by Deutsche ict + medienakademie

Event: Expert Roundtable "Breaking Dawn for the Lightwave"
Speaker: Vincent Garnier – Director General
Date and time: 11 August 2022, 12:00 CEST
Location: FOM University Centre Cologne, Germany
Organiser: Deutsche ict + medienakademie


The first aim of the roundtable will be to position Germany in the chessboard of fibre optic coverage, adoption, and take-up, in comparison to other countries at European and international level. The second section will look at the political and regulatory framework and resulting strategies, followed by some reflections on applications, with the help of some expert speakers from the German Federal Network Agency (BNetzA) and Deutsche Telekom AG.

Our Director General Vincent Garnier will set the scene of the debate by providing the audience with a presentation over the state-of-fibre in Europe, leveraging our most recent market reports presented at the FTTH Conference 2022.

Help us create a brighter future!
