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!

Grow your FTTH business with environments where everyone thrives

The FTTH Council Europe is constantly observing the industry in Europe when it comes to inclusion and equity to share best practices, provide recommendations based on the available data from its member companies to encourage progress and address the detected gaps. Following the first survey held back in 2021/2022 and mainly based on gender diversity, the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee worked in 2025 on two new surveys with the target to:

  • Establish a baseline on DE&I within the industry and find about (best) practices
  • Compare results to the previous state of art to analyze differences
  • Identify how much active work is being done to address diversity
  • Evaluate more technical data like certifications, company programs, etc. And their impact on building an inclusive workplace

This webinar wants to share with the public the data collected and elaborated by the Council, showcasing the FTTH Council Europe's 2025 Champion of Diversity award-winning company best practices and going through the results of the recently issued surveys to provide a “state of art” picture of the three factors in our industry, thus contributing to pave the way forward towards a more equitable society to ensure a more sustainable and inclusive future in this respect.
