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!

Voice of the CEE Industry

The Central and Eastern European (CEE) region entered a pivotal phase in its digital transformation journey, driven by rapid fibre network expansion, supportive policy frameworks, and a growing demand for gigabit connectivity.
The Voice of the CEE Industry panel brought together leading technology enablers and infrastructure innovators to discuss how the region sustained its momentum toward a fully fibered future.

Featuring insights from our sponsors Yungo, Adtran, Gridsz/Speer IT, ZTE Corporation, and Viavi Solutions, the session explored how collaborative innovation, efficient network design, and future-ready technologies shaped the CEE fibre ecosystem.
Panelists shared perspectives on deployment strategies, network intelligence, and operational excellence, highlighting best practices and lessons learned from across the region.

Attendees heard how these key industry players helped accelerate fibre rollouts, enhance network performance, and prepare the CEE market for the next generation of broadband connectivity.
