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!

Open Access Committee – Advancing Shared Fibre Opportunities

Building on the priorities set during the Spring General Assembly, the Open Access Committee continues its work to strengthen understanding and adoption of Open Access models across Europe.

Efforts are now focused on broadening industry dialogue around the definition and value of true Open Access and examining practical enablers such as standards, aggregation, and interoperability. The Committee also aims to gather insights on barriers to adoption and explore ways to address them through collaboration and knowledge sharing.

The Committee is starting preparations for the FTTH Conference 2026 in London, where they will be hosting a workshop.

Members are encouraged to contribute their perspectives and experiences to help shape a common vision for sustainable, inclusive fibre markets.

Help us create a brighter future!
