The FTTH Council Europe has been monitoring annually the evolution of full-fibre deployment throughout Europe since 2012. This essential work has been driven by the Market Intelligence Committee which publishes our flagship report FTTH/B Market Panorama, complete with FTTH Forecasts for Europe. The survey is commissioned through an external partner and the role of the Committee is to complete and refine these data based on the comprehensive input coming from the network of experts from our 150 members active in all European countries.

FTTH members have access to a more detailed version of the report with granular information regarding the individual FTTH markets in each of the 39 countries surveyed.

Two more reports have been produced under initiative of the Market Intelligence Committee, and launched during the last FTTH Virtual Conference 2021: the latest figures of the FTTH Forecasts for 2021 and 2026 and an overview of fibre deployments in rural areas.

The Market Intelligence Committee is also involved in other studies such as Copper Switch Off, Best Practices in Fibre advertising and the Socio Economic Impact of FTTH.

FTTH Handbook

During the FTTH Conference 2023, the FTTH Council Europe issued an updated version of its renowned FTTH Handbook, prepared by the Deployment and Operations Committee.

The FTTH Handbook is a resource for the fibre community. The FTTH Handbook covers every aspect of the network, from central office to subscriber equipment; from passive to active equipment choices, and encompasses all stages: planning, designing, building, and operations.

The 9th edition, launched in 2021, included a brand new section examining the scope and role of digital tools at all steps of FTTx network development. The current version includes a number of detailed revisions and updates focusing on topics such as aerial rollouts. Several companion publications, looking into topics such as combined fibre and 5G network synergies and In-Home Broadband experience, are now also available.   

It also acts as a forum for sharing experiences and approaches, supporting those who aim to drive pure fibre networks across Europe.

Help us create a brighter future!
