GTT's AI-Powered Vision Aims to Redefine Enterprise Networking and Security

ARLINGTON, Va. – April 21, 2026 – GTT Communications Inc., a prominent provider of networking and security services for multinational corporations, has officially unveiled its strategic roadmap for 2026. The ambitious plan signals a significant pivot towards an AI-driven future, aiming to integrate artificial intelligence across its entire service portfolio to enhance cloud and security capabilities for its global enterprise clients. Building on substantial 2025 investments in platform expansion and AI infrastructure, GTT is positioning its GTT Envision platform as the cornerstone of a unified, intelligent, and secure networking experience.

The strategy centers on a vision the company calls “One of One”—serving customers as a single, comprehensive partner with one AI-powered platform and one seamless networking experience. This initiative is designed to address the increasing complexity faced by global businesses managing distributed workforces, hybrid cloud environments, and a constantly evolving threat landscape.

“GTT is engineering the infrastructure businesses need to operate securely and efficiently in the age of AI,” said Ed Morche, CEO of GTT. “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.”

The Engine of Innovation: GTT's AI Factory

Central to GTT's 2026 strategy is the operationalization of its “AI factory,” a dedicated infrastructure developed in collaboration with technology giants NVIDIA, Dell Technologies, and Insight Enterprises. This factory is not a physical plant but a powerful, scalable, and geographically redundant computing environment built on Dell PowerEdge servers and NVIDIA’s accelerated computing platform. Its purpose is to embed AI capabilities deeply into GTT's product development, internal operations, and customer experience.

This investment marks a strategic evolution from a traditional network provider to an intelligent infrastructure partner. The AI factory will power a new cybersecurity protection framework, providing real-time anomaly detection and proactive threat assessments. Internally, GTT plans to apply AI to its own systems to predict network performance issues, optimize resource allocation in real time, and develop agentic workflows to improve employee productivity. This AIOps-driven approach, which began with the adoption of platforms like Selector's to monitor its IP backbone, is now being scaled across the organization to prevent service interruptions before they impact customers.

A New Era of AI-Driven Cybersecurity

Recognizing that security is a paramount concern for modern enterprises, GTT is placing a heavy emphasis on fortifying its security offerings. The company will accelerate its proprietary product innovation by launching AI-enabled security solutions that provide advanced anomaly analysis. The goal is to create a dynamic security environment where threats are identified and contained faster than ever before.

This initiative is complemented by a significant expansion of GTT's Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) offering. By adding new technology vendor options, GTT is providing clients with greater flexibility. The company is also enhancing its support for 5G fixed wireless access and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite connections, ensuring high-capacity, resilient connectivity for primary and backup solutions.

Further bolstering its defensive posture, GTT has expanded its total Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) scrubbing capacity to 4 Tbps. This expansion, which included new scrubbing centers in São Paulo, Hong Kong, and Miami, was a direct response to the escalating scale of DDoS attacks observed in recent years, where attack sizes have surged dramatically. This massive capacity ensures GTT can absorb and mitigate even the largest volumetric attacks, protecting customer infrastructure from crippling downtime.

Expanding the Global Network and Cloud Frontier

While advancing its AI and security capabilities, GTT continues to invest heavily in its foundational asset: its global Tier 1 internet backbone. The network, which CAIDA recognized as the third-largest global backbone, now boasts over 700 terabits of capacity. This immense scale is critical for supporting the data-intensive demands of AI workloads and global applications.

In 2025, GTT extended the reach of its EnvisionCORE platform with new Points-of-Presence (PoPs) in key growth markets across Latin America and Asia, including Argentina, Chile, Colombia, India, and Thailand. This expansion provides customers in these regions with high-speed, low-latency access to GTT's full suite of services.

The 2026 strategy will see GTT expand its hybrid cloud services by enhancing its EnvisionEDGE and EnvisionCORE devices. EnvisionEDGE will gain capabilities for AI workload acceleration and local edge compute, bringing processing power closer to where data is generated. This enables a unified managed hybrid cloud environment that spans from the edge to private and public clouds, all orchestrated under the single GTT Envision platform.

A Strategy Built on Proven Momentum

GTT's forward-looking strategy is grounded in a year of significant achievements and growth. In 2025, the company saw quarterly revenue growth across its Enhanced Services portfolio, which includes Managed SD-WAN and SIP Trunking. It successfully served thousands of customers across more than 140,000 locations in 170 countries, expanding relationships with major international brands like Radisson Hotel Group and JYSK.

This market traction is backed by strong third-party validation. For the third consecutive year, Information Services Group (ISG) recognized GTT as a Leader in SD-WAN and SASE. Frost & Sullivan also named the company a Leader for Managed SD-WAN in North America. These accolades, combined with top-tier customer satisfaction ratings in Europe, underscore GTT's established expertise and ability to execute on its promises.

The company’s strategic combination of a world-class global network, a dedicated AI infrastructure, and a unified platform vision represents a deliberate move to address the interconnected challenges of connectivity, security, and distributed computing that define the modern enterprise landscape. By focusing on becoming a single, intelligent partner, GTT is making a bold play to not only compete on network reach but to lead on integrated, AI-powered service delivery.
