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!

Webinar - "Women in Fibre - Gender Diversity Survey: the results are in"

The FTTH Council Europe just revealed the first key findings of its Gender Diversity Survey which have been officially launched during this webinar on 15 December 2021.

Roshene McCool, Senior Market & Technology Development Manager at Corning, presented the findings from the Gender Diversity Survey undertaken by the Women in Fibre Committee on behalf of the FTTH Council Europe in September of this year.

Find out what our 280 respondents had to say about whether gender is a barrier to progression in the European fibre industry; if Diversity & Inclusion initiatives are having an impact in their organizations; the impact of COVID-19 on work life; and if flexible working practices have helped them balance work and life effectively. Roshene presented the results along with recommendations for what leaders can do as they start to address the gender balance in their organisations.

Help us create a brighter future!
