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!

Telco per l’Italia 360SummIT

Event: Telco Per l’Italia 360SummIT
Speakers: Vincent Garnier - Director General 
Date and time: 12 December 2023
Location: Teatro Sala Umberto, Via delle Mercede, 50 – Rome​ 
Organiser: Corriere Comunicazioni


Turning critical issues into opportunities: the telecom industry is going through a complex phase but there is no other way out than through innovation. Not only innovation in business models or consumer offers, though, but in technology and skills.  Telco Per l’Italia, the end-of-year event by Corriere Comunicazioni, was the opportunity to address these challenges and make space for innovation. An expert speaker line-up featuring operators, investors, local authorities, and Government’s representatives took stock of the state of the Italian telecom market to understand how business models are evolving, on which technologies and services investments are being focused, and the expectations for 2024. In the context of the event, our Director General Vincent Garnier set the scene for the discussions happening throughout the day with a state-of-the-market presentation highlighting where we are on the road to full-fibre connectivity in Europe, with particular emphasis on the Italian case.
