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.

European FTTH/B Market Panorama 2021

On 12 May the FTTH Council Europe revealed the 2021 Market Panorama and the latest figures outlining fibre deployment trends in Europe prepared with IDATE.

Ranking and the Market Panorama will be updated next year, whereas the FTTH/B market forecasts for 2021 and 2026 will be unveiled at the FTTH Virtual Conference 2021 on September 15-16.

Every year since 2007, the FTTH Council Europe releases a market panorama which provides a snapshot of the state of fibre in Europe and globally. This comprehensive set of data highlights indicators which influence fibre deployment and provide an overview of trends for coverage, take-up rate, number of subscribers and homes passed for FTTH/B. The most popular finding of the Fibre Market Panorama is our annual ranking showing what European countries are leading the full-fibre charge by highlighting FTTH/B network buildout and active fibre subscribers. The FTTH Council Europe also publishes a forecast with a 5 to 10-year perspective. 

Whereas the general market panorama report is publicly available, members of the FTTH Council Europe are granted exclusive access to the granular and very detailed data depicting FTTH/B parameters in the majority of the European and a handful of Asian countries. This unique data allows our members, including regional and international operators, manufacturers, and investors, to efficiently navigate their business & direct their investments where it's most needed or will be viable in years to come. 

Members of the FTTH Council Europe can access the underlying market panorama data and other content & exclusive services via member-restricted extranet (subject to certain conditions).
