BT Group embarked on a mission to improve critical communications, launching a portfolio of services to boost resilience by providing prioritised access to 4G and 5G networks through its EE unit.
Mission Boost spearheads a namesake range combining BT’s mobile and cloud infrastructure, and security capabilities with services from a host of partners. The system puts essential communications first during periods of network congestion or high demand.
Partnerships position the set-up for use by organisations involved in key national infrastructure, emergency response and transport.
BT plans to evolve its range to include contact management capabilities and PTT. It positioned the move as part of a $40 billion investment in digital infrastructure spanning the decade to 2030.
Faisal Mahomed, MD of Critical Communications, said the Mission portfolio is BT’s response to the “increasingly complex environments” organisations find themselves operating in.
Electricity provider UK Power Networks is among the first companies adopting BT’s system: its director of Asset Management Kieran Coughlan said reliable connectivity is now essential to the running of its network, highlighting capabilities including the capacity to remain connected to staff in the field and tools to help turn the lights back on during power outages.
Operators are increasingly looking to reposition themselves as trusted central players in digital sectors by combining their infrastructure with third-party services.
Orange Business and Telefonica are among those to recently make comparable moves.

BT claimed to be the first UK company to join Anthropic’s Project Glasswing, a move it said strengthens cybersecurity for its networks and enables better protection against the latest AI threats for customers.
The operator made the announcement at the UK Government’s AI Adoption Summit at London Tech Week, with the country committing to accelerate AI usage across the economy.
BT stated its membership to Project Glasswing will give it access to Anthropic’s frontier AI model Claude Mythos Preview, strengthening protection against cybersecurity threats for its network and customers.
Anthropic announced last week it had expanded access to Mythos to 150 new companies across 15 countries, after initially restricting it to a group of private technology players.
BT explained Project Glasswing brings together “critical infrastructure providers” to secure data and systems, allowing organisations to use Anthropic’s safe AI systems to identify vulnerabilities and help to fix them before criminals can take advantage.
In a speech during the summit, BT CEO Allison Kirkby outlined the critical role of connectivity in ensuring the UK can seize the growth potential of AI, emphasising the operator’s commitment to working with the government to support “sovereign British AI capability so that the UK can be an AI maker and not just a taker”.
In line with its participation in Project Glasswing, BT said it prevents more than 4 million cyberattacks across its network every day.
CEO of BT Business Jon James added AI is changing cybersecurity fast and “businesses need trusted partners who can help them stay one step ahead”.
