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.

FTTH Council Europe joins joint statement calling for stronger recognition of Wi-Fi in the Digital Networks Act

FTTH Council Europe has joined a broad group of organisations from the European connectivity ecosystem in a joint statement calling for stronger recognition of Wi-Fi in the EU Digital Networks Act.

The statement underlines that fibre and Wi-Fi are deeply complementary technologies: fibre brings high-capacity connectivity to buildings, while Wi-Fi distributes that connectivity indoors, where the vast majority of user data is consumed.

Together with the other signatories, FTTH Council Europe calls on co-legislators to strengthen Articles 17, 27 and 28 of the Digital Networks Act to better recognise licence-exempt spectrum and dynamic sharing as strategic components of Europe’s digital infrastructure.
