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.

Bringing broadband to rural areas: overcoming challenges & seizing opportunities

Typical of many altnets in England, Alncom’s mission is to provide rural broadband services, but exactly how they are delivering fiber to communities in Northumberland is certainly not typical. The Alncom team have deployed the latest IQGeo fiber network management software to their dedicated team of designers and multiskilled field engineers. To streamline planning and construction processes, their technology strategy is tightly linked with the training and management of office and field teams.

With private and government funding, Alncom has developed a very efficient fiber planning and rollout model that allows their field engineers to connect homes and businesses with a single site visit. Success in rural broadband demands speed and agility and in this webinar Alncom shared their technology strategies, workflows, and how they have skilled up their field teams to deliver success for their customers, community, and their business.

Watch the webinar and gain insights into optimizing rural fiber deployments and streamlining planning and construction workflows. Also learn how to build versatile, multiskilled field teams and support remote locations using advanced mobile software. These strategies will ensure efficient and effective project execution, even in less accessible areas, enhancing overall productivity and connectivity.

Help us create a brighter future!
