Danfoss, a Danish manufacturer of mobile hydraulic systems and components, plans to present its data centre cooling and power management technologies at SuperComputing 2025, taking place 18–20 November in St Louis, Missouri, USA. The company says it will demonstrate equipment designed to support reliability, energy performance, and liquid-cooling adoption in high-density computing environments. Exhibits will include cooling components, liquid-cooling hardware, and motor-control equipment intended for use across data hall and plant-room applications. Danfoss notes that increasing data centre efficiency while maintaining uptime remains a central challenge for operators and developers, particularly as AI and high-performance computing drive increases in heat output and power usage. Peter Bleday, Vice President, Specialty Business Unit and Data Center at Danfoss Power Solutions, says, “Danfoss technologies are trusted by the world’s leading cloud service providers and chip manufacturers with products installed in facilities around the world. "We look forward to welcoming visitors to our booth to discuss how we can help them achieve smarter, more reliable, and more sustainable data centre operations.” Cooling and power management focus Danfoss will present liquid-cooling components including couplings, hoses, and valve assemblies designed to support leak-tested coolant distribution for rack-level and direct-to-chip cooling. A smart valve train system providing plug-and-play connection between piping and server racks will also be shown, designed to help optimise coolant flow and simplify installation. The company's HVAC portfolio will also feature, including centrifugal compressor technology engineered for high efficiency and low noise in compact installations. Danfoss states that this equipment is designed to support data centre cooling requirements with long-term performance stability. In addition, the manufacturer will highlight its power-conversion and motor-control portfolio, including variable-frequency drives and harmonic-mitigation equipment intended to support low-PUE facilities. The business says its liquid-cooled power-conversion modules are designed to support applications such as energy storage and fuel-cell systems within data centre environments. Danfoss representatives will also discuss the company’s involvement in wider sustainability initiatives, including the Net Zero Innovation Hub for Data Centers, where industry stakeholders such as Google and Microsoft collaborate on energy-efficiency and decarbonisation strategies.

FTTH Congress CEE 2025 to focus on fibre rollout

The FTTH Congress CEE 2025 will take place on 7–8 October at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Warsaw, Poland, bringing together policymakers, operators, investors, and technology providers to address fibre deployment challenges and opportunities across Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). The two-day event, organised by the FTTH Council Europe, is expected to draw more than 400 delegates from across the region’s broadband ecosystem. Fibre challenges and opportunities in CEE According to the latest FTTH/B Market Panorama, the CEE region still has more than 13 million homes without fibre access, with rural areas presenting the largest gaps. While markets such as Poland and Romania have seen rapid deployment, others - including Czechia and parts of the Baltics - continue to face regulatory and investment obstacles. Vincent Garnier, Director General of the FTTH Council Europe, says, “Central and Eastern Europe represents both one of the continent’s biggest fibre challenges and one of its greatest opportunities. "With millions of homes still unconnected, this Congress is about ensuring that ambition translates into action by bringing together the actors who can make fibre a reality across the region.” Programme highlights The programme includes keynote sessions, technical presentations, and national market debates, with participation from the European Commission, BEREC, national regulators, operators, infrastructure investors, and vendors. Key themes will cover: • Regulatory frameworks and funding to accelerate deployment• Investment models and cross-border partnerships• Innovations in network resilience and open access models• The role of fibre in smart cities, inclusive growth, and digital sovereignty Country-focused sessions will provide insight into fibre developments in Poland, Czechia, Romania, Ukraine, and the Baltics. Francesco Nonno, President of the FTTH Council Europe, adds, “This event is a unique chance to address the strategic dimension of fibre. Beyond infrastructure, it is about enabling digital competitiveness, sustainability, and resilience. "The Congress in Warsaw will highlight how national and European priorities can come together to deliver for citizens and businesses alike.”
