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.

Fibre Networks as Green Assets - The Role of Sustainable Finance

The FTTH Council Europe is pleased to bring you this first-of-its-kind study by Cartesian on FTTH as a green asset.

Within the FTTH Council Europe, we are relentlessly working to fulfil our mission: to advance ubiquitous full fibre-based connectivity to the whole of Europe. The FTTH value chain is also fully committed to contributing to the achievement of the EU climate goals.

This study aims to demonstrate the positive environmental impact of FTTH networks throughout their lifecycle, from production to deployment and operation. FTTH networks underpin the “twin transitions” ensuring the highest connectivity performance as well as a high energy efficiency, reducing the risk of rebound effects that can arise from higher data consumption. Finally, the study demonstrates how access to sustainable finance could help sustain the investments needed to achieve the Digital Decade targets.

We want to ensure that there is wide awareness about the results of this study, which contributes to increasing investors’ confidence in the sustainability benefits of FTTH projects as well as informing policy makers on actions to ensure access to sustainable finance.

Help us create a brighter future!
