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!

Panel 13 - It is all about Speed!

The importance of speed is common to the four presentations delivered in this session. Speed is one of the multiple benefits brought by fibre, and which still needs to be correctly marketed to convince subscribers to transition to FTTH.  Speed at the core of Fibre and 5G convergence, speed at the planning stages and, thanks to new technologies and services, speed of deployment for passive infrastructure. Fibre offers unlimited capacities, and deployment of fibre requires maximum optimisation of our limited resources, including time. 


Speakers:  Steven Kenney - Product Line Manager at UCL Swift,  Henning Kroll - Product Manager at AVM GmbH, Jason Silver - Managing Director International, SSP Innovations at 3-GIS, Marcus Brunner - Chief Expert Standardization F5G and ETSI ISG F5G Liaison Officer at Huawei - moderated by David De Craemer - Board Member at FTTH Council Europe
