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!

While the FTTH/B roll-out coverage in Europe amounts to 57% and is progressing steadily, the take-up rate is yet to reach the 50% mark, with some countries significantly lagging behind this average figure. This workshop will bring together industry experts to discuss how to increase the demand for FTTH/B – a key challenge that the industry needs to address urgently to ensure that society fully benefits from the connectivity potential that full-fibre has to offer. During the session, speakers will examine which policy measures and steps by the industry and policy makers could work best to increase the demand and the take-up. 

Help us create a brighter future!
