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!

President Eric Festraets represented the voice of the FTTH Council Europe at the next fibre optic event jointly organised by the Finnet Association and the Finnish regional Network Association in Tampere, Finland. The summit, which gathered together over 250 representatives from fibre leading operators, partners, investors and authorities, touched upon several topics of interest for the acceleration of fibre networks in the country. Our President's speech took stock of the current FTTH/B market figures in Europe, with particular focus on the balance between deployment and take-up. The discussion also delved into the key trends the Council is observing today, with the explosion of fibre investment across Europe, as well as the technologies currently gaining more traction, with a constant eye on the challenges that the fibre industry will need to address in the near future.
