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!

The FTTH Council Global Alliance reveals broadband infrastructure is critical to the future of work-from-home

WASHINGTON, D.C., Brussels—(July 12, 2021)—The Fibre Council Global Alliance (FCGA) today published a white paper titled “The Future of Work: Analyzing Global Broadband Trends.” The report explores survey research conducted by the six regional chapters of the FCGA, which includes the Fiber Broadband Association North America and LATAM chapters, FTTH Council Europe, FTTH Council Asia Pacific, North Africa and Middle East Fiber Connect Council and the Digital Council Africa, to better understand the quality of experience businesses and employees faced while working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic and how those experiences differed across global regions. The research considered what broadband technology was used most by home workers and what technology investments businesses made to support remote employees.

You can freely access the report via this link.
