GTT Communications has set out its 2026 strategy with a strong focus on AI-driven networking, cloud expansion, and advanced cybersecurity. The announcement builds on a year of major infrastructure growth in 2025, including the expansion of its global backbone to become the third largest worldwide.
For eeNews Europe readers, this signals how AI is becoming embedded into network architecture itself, not just applications. It also highlights how telecom and cloud providers are reshaping infrastructure to support distributed compute, edge intelligence, and increasingly complex security demands.
At the heart of GTT’s strategy is further development of its Envision platform, which connects enterprise networks across edge, core and multi cloud environments. The company plans to introduce a new AI enabled cybersecurity framework designed for real time threat detection and faster mitigation.
“GTT is engineering the infrastructure businesses need to operate securely and efficiently in the age of AI,” said Ed Morche, CEO, GTT. “Our vision remains to be ‘One of One,’ serving our customers as a single partner with one AI-powered platform and one networking experience. In 2025, we significantly advanced our platform and expanded the global network that connects our customers’ people, data and applications. In 2026, we will build on that momentum that helps enterprises, partners and wholesalers run their digital infrastructure at global scale.”
Enhancements to the platform will span core infrastructure, edge devices and digital user experience. This includes deeper cloud integration, improved DDoS protection and new edge compute capabilities to support AI workloads closer to where data is generated.
GTT is also expanding its services portfolio with a focus on hybrid cloud and AI driven security. The company will extend compute capabilities across both its edge devices and core network nodes, creating a unified environment that spans private and public cloud systems.
Its Secure Access Service Edge offering will also be strengthened with more vendor options and support for technologies such as 5G fixed wireless access and low Earth orbit satellite connectivity. These options are increasingly relevant for enterprises looking to improve resilience and flexibility in their network design.
Internally, GTT is applying AI to improve operations, predict performance issues and automate workflows. The company is also expanding API integration with partners to enable more automated and scalable service delivery.
The strategy follows a year of notable growth for GTT. In 2025, the company reached more than 700 Tbps of network capacity and expanded its reach to over 170 countries. It also deployed new infrastructure across Asia and Latin America and increased its DDoS mitigation capacity.
Partnerships with companies such as NVIDIA and Dell Technologies supported the rollout of its AI infrastructure, while updates to its edge platform enabled more flexible service configurations for enterprise customers.
Overall, GTT’s roadmap reflects a wider industry shift toward AI native networks that combine connectivity, compute and security into a single platform. For engineers and technology leaders, this evolution is shaping how future digital infrastructure will be designed and operated.
