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!

Adtran "No Sales Pitch" Event in the UK

Event: Keynote speech "European Fibre Vision - Fact or Fiction", at Adtran's NSP event
Speaker: Vincent Garnier – Director General
Date and time: 23 February 2023, 09:10 GMT
Location: King's Place - London, UK
Organiser: Adtran


With over 12 million homes now having access to full fibre, the UK is among the fastest-growing fibre markets in Europe. Despite the clear improvements seen in the past few months, the country is still lagging behind other European countries with regard to FTTH coverage, and there is still a long way before all British citizens can enjoy the full potential of fibre connectivity.

It is therefore important to separate the facts from the fiction and build concrete strategies to fill this gap, with market data being the starting point of this exercise. At Adtran's NSP event UK, our Director General Vincent Garnier discussed the most recent UK fibre market figures and how these compare to the experiences from other European countries.

Help us create a brighter future!
