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 11 - Germany: status of FTTH roll out

With close to 30 million households still to be connected to fibre, Germany is arguably the most important market for the European FTTH industry.  With the help of a very high-level speaker line-up, we will explore the unique characteristics of this rapidly evolving market, including the country's mix of urban and rural areas, and the opportunities presented by the growing demand for high-speed internet services.

Join us for a thought-provoking and informative panel session that will shed light on the state of FTTH in Germany, and the opportunities and challenges it presents for operators, investors, policymakers, and end-users alike.


Speakers:  Jan Georg Budden - CEO and co-founder at Deutsche GigaNetz GmbH, Jens Prautzsch - CEO at Unsere Grüne Glasfaser, and Ruben Queimano Alonso - Chief Commercial Officer at Deutsche Glasfaser GmbH - Moderated by Dr Cara Schwarz-Schilling - General Manager and Director at WIK GmbH
