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!

Speaker: Jeroen Kanselaar, Sustainability Committee Chair
Date and Time: 22 October 2025, 13:00–14:00

As the broadband sector continued its expansion, addressing sustainability challenges became a key priority for industry stakeholders. Reducing environmental impact, promoting energy-efficient network deployment, and integrating ESG strategies across the fibre ecosystem were critical to ensuring a responsible and resilient digital future.

This 60-minute keynote session took place in the opening block of the FITCE Fibre Congress, bringing together around 150–180 representatives from the Belgian fibre community, including operators, solution providers, and policymakers. The session highlighted actionable insights and strategies for sustainable network development, followed by a brief Q&A segment.

The FTTH Council Europe contributed expert perspectives on how the industry could leverage fibre infrastructure to enhance sustainability outcomes, sharing recommendations and best practices to support the sector’s environmental and social objectives. In-person participation was encouraged to engage directly with the discussion and network with industry peers.
