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!

This page is new and still growing. The Committee's assets, studies and Conference materials are currently in production and will be added here as they are published. In the meantime, you can follow the Committee's latest news below.

Webinar on Spectrum Policy & the Future of Enterprise Wi-Fi

Event: Unlocking European Growth: Spectrum Policy and Future of Enterprise Wi-Fi
Speaker: Vincent Garnier - Director General, FTTH Council Europe
Date: 3rd November 2025 
Time: 15.00 - 16.30 CET 
Organiser: Cisco and FTTH Council Europe

Wi-Fi is a cornerstone of enterprise connectivity and was driving Europe’s digital transformation, delivering billions in economic value and supporting the EU's Digital Decade targets. Enabling by robust fibre, public Wi-Fi also provided vital connectivity in essential spaces like hospitals and schools, supporting inclusive growth and strengthening key sectors. Europe’s ability to unlock the full potential of next-generation Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi 6E/7) hinged on critical spectrum policy choices. The future of the upper 6 GHz band remained under debate, and the decision was decisive for Europe’s digital competitiveness compared to global regions that had allocated the full band for unlicensed use. This interactive roundtable examined how unlicensed technologies, powered by 6 GHz spectrum, were already enabling transformative use cases across public and enterprise sectors. Attendees joined the discussion to discuss the options on the table and ensure Wi-Fi remained a key driver of growth, innovation, and Europe’s policy goals.

Help us create a brighter future!
