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!

COP29 in Baku marks a major milestone for the FTTH Council as we proudly endorsed the Green Digital Action Declaration! On Digitalization Day (November 16), our Sustainability Committee Chair, Jeroen Kanselaar, joined global leaders in two pivotal sessions to formally support this critical commitment toward a sustainable, digitally empowered future.

At the Green Digital Action Roundtable, Mr. Kanselaar explored the integration of digital innovation in climate strategies, focusing on reducing the environmental impact of digitalization and building partnerships to advance sustainable transformation. He also showcased the FTTH Eco Platform, a key sustainability initiative of the European fibre industry.

In the ICT Sector Greenhouse Gas Emissions session, the focus was shifted to the ICT sector’s commitment to reducing GHG emissions by 45% by 2030 (from 2020 levels), best practices in energy efficiency, and the need for robust climate transition plans.. 

Thanks to the organisers! Keep following us to our commitment in advancing a sustainable, digitally empowered future.

Help us create a brighter future!
