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!

This page is new and still growing. The Committee's assets, studies and Conference materials are currently in production and will be added here as they are published. In the meantime, you can follow the Committee's latest news below.

Webinar - "How to Boost the FTTH Take-up in Europe?"

Rewatch the live publishing of the first-of-its-kind study on the FTTH adoption drivers and hurdles in Europe, commissioned by the FTTH Council Europe. 

The study, carried out by Plum Consulting and featuring an in-depth analysis of 8 main European markets, addresses a key challenge for all decision-makers and the industry: the discrepancy between fibre rollouts and take-up rates. While the FTTH/B rollout coverage in Europe now amounts to 57% and is progressing steadily, the take-up rate is yet to reach the 50% mark, with considerable differences at country-level.

Benoît Felten, Director of Plum Consulting, presented the results of this new study, which identifies the drivers of FTTH/B adoption and analyses the policies designed to drive fibre adoption in Europe. Watch this webinar to hear the FTTH Council Europe's policy recommendations stemming from this study.
