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!

"5G Summit and User Congress" by ZTE Corporation

Event: Keynote presentation: "5G – FTTH network convergence ​"
Speaker: Vincent Garnier – Director General
Date and time: 8 November 2022, 17:30 CET
Location: Regina Palace Hotel - Stresa, Italy
Organiser: ZTE Corporation


5G and FTTH are two complementary solutions, both relying on the availability of sufficient fibre into almost every street. This offers great opportunities for convergence in fibre rollouts in the coming years, as our recent studies highlighted already. In the beautiful setting of Regina Palace Hotel in Stresa, lake Maggiore, our Director General presented the benefits of 5G and FTTH network convergence at ZTE's 5G Summit and User Congress.

Help us create a brighter future!
