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!

FTTH/B Market Panorama 2026: Deployment Trends, Take Up Dynamics and Key Insights

In this webinar, the FTTH Council Europe unveils an exclusive preview of the Market Panorama 2026, featuring the latest data and trends prepared by IDATE.

As Europe advances toward a fully fibre based continent, this new edition not only highlights the evolution of FTTH/B deployment but also places a strong emphasis on the growing importance of take up as a key indicator of market maturity and socio economic impact. We explore which countries are driving Europe forward, how coverage and adoption are evolving, and what these trends mean for consumers, operators, and policymakers.

Beyond the numbers, the session assesss the forces accelerating both roll out and subscription growth, as well as the challenges that continue to shape our journey toward ubiquitous fibre connectivity. This webinar offers a concise yet comprehensive look into the latest insights from the European fibre market, supporting all stakeholders in understanding not only where fibre is being deployed, but also where citizens are increasingly adopting it.
