Evidence finding
Global Fabric keeps expanding its footprint. Right now that means 45 live data centres against a stated target of 140, plus 700 planned locations for high bandwidth connectivity down the line. BT's 2026 Gartner Leader placement for Global WAN Services sits alongside that expansion. Together, these support BT's pitch to multinational, UK headquartered firms that need consistent delivery across multiple geographies, though the current live footprint is still only a fraction of what's targeted.
