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.

The FTTH Council Europe welcomes the decision to revise the Broadband Cost Reduction Directive (BCRD) and believes that with appropriate revisions it can assist the deployment of FTTH across Europe. The FTTH Council is uniquely placed to participate in this survey for a number of reasons, its members are actively involved in actual network deployments and the network design. Those network designs are driven by customers and their desire for cost reduction which may or may not result in a significant overlay of existing networks. The FTTH Council has, since its inception, advocated the reuse of passive infrastructures and the sharing of the terminating segment as a means of enabling efficient FTTH deployments. With the recent pandemic and its effects, the importance of widely available and affordable fibre networks has never been more important and the BCRD can play an important role in delivering that outcome.
