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.

Presentation "International/European State of Affairs for fiber deployment", during Fiber for BE, the State of Fiber in Belgium

Event: Presentation "International/European State of Affairs for fiber deployment", during Fiber for BE, the State of Fiber in Belgium
Speaker: Vincent Garnier – Director General
Date: 17 October 2023
Location: Handelsbeurs (Gent), Belgium
Organiser: FITCE.be


What is happening in the Belgian market and what are successful use cases? What is going to happen in the coming years in terms of fibre deployment? What are the key technological evolutions? What bandwidths and service quality can be delivered on the networks of the future? What is the status of regulation and the role of the different governments in Belgium? How can we ensure the rural parts are not forgotten? What are other challenges Belgian players face in their ambition to roll out fibre? What are the practical day-to-day challenges of actually installing that fibre in the streets? Can AI help to speed up fiber deployments? These are the questions that FITCE's event "Fiber for BE" answered with the help of a prominent speaker line-up, representing the entire value chain. Our Director General Vincent Garnier contributed to the discussion with some fact-based insights from our latest market reports during his presentation, where he took stock of the Belgian fibre market in comparison to EU trends and ambitions for digital connectivity by 2030.

Help us create a brighter future!
