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 FUTURE OF WORK: ANALYZING GLOBAL BROADBAND TRENDS

The Fibre Broadband Association and the Fibre-to-the-Home Council Global Alliance conducted the Future of Work survey of our industry to understand the business and personal experience after the shift to a remote workforce was brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic and how these experiences differ at the regional level.

In the study, we aimed to gain insights into productivity, how it is measured, the use of applications, challenges faced by remote workers and how or if they were resolved. In addition, we considered what broadband technology is most used by at home workers and what technology and infrastructure investments businesses have made to support them. The outcome illustrated interesting regional and cultural differences but also drew attention to several areas of global alignment.

Help us create a brighter future!
