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.

Webinar - FTTH Carbon Footprint Cooperative Platform: Get your Organisation Ready for the next ESG obligations

By means of this webinar, the Sustainability Committee of the FTTH Council Europe presented a new platform where companies involved in the deployment of FTTH networks can share ESG best practices, build a database of detailed carbon intensity information for all products (essential for the accuracy of Scope 3 reporting), and receive preferential access to the expertise and tools of a consultant for organisations measuring their carbon emissions for the first time.

Your clients or investors are probably already asking you to report your carbon footprint or those of your products, while the European Union has just made reporting compulsory (CSRD) for large organisation from 2024 and it will be extended to all SMEs by 2026, and your organisation needs to be ready on time.

During this webinar our Committee’s representatives and Toovalu, our consulting partner, discussed how the FTTH Carbon Footprint Cooperative Platform will support you on these objectives and they answered to the following questions:

- What is the environmental impact of the FTTH industry?
- How can you measure your company’s carbon footprint easily?
- What the FTTH Carbon Footprint Cooperative Platform is offering?

Help us create a brighter future!
