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!

"State of play of  FTTH rollout in Europe" at ECOC Exhibition 2022

Event: State of play of  FTTH rollout in Europe
Speaker: Vincent Garnier – Director General
Date and time: 20 September 2022, 9:30 CEST
Location: Messe Basel, Switzerland
Organiser: ECOC


More than half of European households now have access to full fibre connectivity and we witness a surge in Public and Private investment in support of aggressive FTTH roll out plans. However, a lot still has to be done to make sure our continent has the fibre infrastructure it requires to meet the challenges of a green and digital society. Our Director General Vincent Garnier presented a review of FTTH roll out plans throughout Europe during his intervention at the ECOC Exhibition, which was followed by a focus on the key challenges the industry will be facing in the years to come.
