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.

Insights from the Committee

 

 

Accelerating the pace of green fiber broadband adoption in Europe

European countries are accelerating fiber adoption, especially FTTx, due to its speed, energy efficiency, and cost savings. While some are nearing completion, others still lag behind. To bridge this gap, AI-driven deployment and operations are streamlining rollouts.

Operators are prioritizing 10G PON and FTTx, while Wi-Fi 7 and FTTR enhance connectivity. AI-powered Intelligent ODN improves network management, reducing costs and failures. Additionally, AI optimizes optical line terminals (OLTs) by adjusting power and fan speed based on demand.

Beyond infrastructure, fiber unlocks new revenue streams with high-quality TV streaming, gaming, and video services. Prioritizing sustainability, automation, and seamless upgrades to 50G PON is a strategic and forward-thinking choice to support Europe’s growing digital needs.

Help us create a brighter future!
