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 8 - How can technology help address the next FTTH roll out challenges?

How can our industry hit the EU Commission's targets and bring gigabit connectivity to every household in Europe by 2030? How can we ensure that fibre networks reach the most rural and underserved areas of our continent? How can we address the challenges and opportunities of a digital society where fibre will need to connect not only homes but businesses, antennae... Everything, everywhere? 

This session will address these questions and more and bring insights from passive and active technology experts.
