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!

Panel 16 - Maximising FTTH networks ROI

As fibre markets mature, senior leaders from leading vendor companies explore how next-generation PON technologies—including XGS-PON, 25G, 50G and VHS-PON—can drive multi-gigabit services and long-term network ROI. Speakers will examine practical strategies to accelerate monetisation, reduce deployment costs and increase uptake through open, scalable and interoperable models. The panel will also show how leveraging physical network inventory and automation can shorten time-to-revenue and turn fibre infrastructure into sustained commercial growth.


Speakers:

  • Björn Capens - Vice President Europe, Fixed Networks at NOKIA
  • Cláudio Emanuel Rodrigues - Engineering & Optical Technology Project Manager at Altice Labs
  • Edward Bagnall - Managing Director at 3-GIS
  • Kajsa Arvidsson - CMO at Genexis group AB
  • Moderated by Domenico Dichiarante - Market Intelligence Committee Chair of the FTTH Council Europe
