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!

On December 3, together with the International Telecommunication Union, Orange, Nokia, Telefònica, and The World Bank, the calls for action of the Green Digital Action track announced at the event "Digital journey to net zero: decarbonizing digital to accelerate the green transition’".

The goal of the Green Digital Action initiative was to advance climate action using digital technology. This project was aiming to unite the global digital community to develop practical solutions, accelerate climate support, and encourage commitments for green and digital transitions from all stakeholders. Additionally, it seeked to foster partnerships and coordination with existing mechanisms, ultimately positioning the ICT sector as a leader in climate action and inspiring other industries to do the same. In this context, the FTTH Council Europe has partnered with the International Telecommunications Union and many other prominent industry players to establish a series of best practices and practical solutions to lower our industry's emissions, supporting companies in their journey towards carbon neutrality.
