The FTTH Council Europe has seven active Committees and a Working Group, covering a wide range of fibre-related topics and industry priorities. The Committees and Working Group of the FTTH Council Europe are instrumental in driving the organization’s mission to advance FTTH technology across the continent. By harnessing expertise, shaping policy, strategizing market development, and promoting collaboration, these groups ensure that the Council remains a leading force in the telecommunications industry. Their strategic importance cannot be overstated, as they lay the foundation for a connected, digital Europe where high-speed internet access is a reality for all.

By mean of this series of interviews with Committee and Working Group Chairs, the FTTH Council Europe aims at fostering a sense of community and collaboration among its Members. Committees and Working Group provide a platform for networking, knowledge sharing, and collaborative problem-solving. This collective effort not only accelerates innovation but also builds a robust support system for member organizations, enhancing their capabilities and competitiveness in the market. This is way the efforts and engagement of their individual members deserve the spotlight.

Panel 12 - Active Equipment solutions and architectures to maximize the benefits of FTTH networks

By attending this session, you will learn more about the convergence of fully integrated fibre access devices, Software-Defined Access (SDA), and open access models, unlocking a new era in fibre network optimization.  

As fibre deployments surge, integrated devices offer advantages for both end customers and providers. Meanwhile, the elusive takeoff of SDA has finally gained momentum, with operators embracing its potential at a large scale. Panellists of this session will present the ingredients that have propelled SDA adoption, delving into the steps for robust real-life disaggregation, and providing insights on valuable lessons for solution providers. 

The roundtable also addresses how a unified physical network structure, coupled with strategic planning and the deployment of Fiber Termination Units (FTUs) and Optical Network Terminals (ONTs), empowers multiple service providers to offer a variety of services. The discussion extends to strategic end-to-end planning for cost-optimized flexibility, drawing lessons from open access models in countries like Sweden and Denmark. 


Speakers: Mitja Golja - Business Development Director at Kontron d.o.o - Chief Expert at Huawei, Kajsa Arvidsson - CMO at Genexis group AB and Eric van Uden - Country Manager Niederlande at AVM - moderated by Patrick Faraj - Chair of Deployment & Operations Committee at the FTTH Council Europe
