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!

Europe’s Fibre Future: From Rollout to Real Value - Considerations By Director General Vincent Garnier

Across Europe, fibre rollouts are advancing at a remarkable speed. Despite differences at national level, we are now closer than ever to achieving the European Union (EU)’s vision of universal gigabit connectivity by 2030. This success reflects a powerful collective effort - from policymakers to network operators and investors – all united by a shared mission to bring the benefits of full fibre to every European home and business. However, the full-fibre mission is far from being completed.

In this editorial piece for The Fast Mode, Director General Vincent Garnier addresses what's ahead for the fibre industry in Europe.

Help us create a brighter future!
