Artificial intelligence (AI), and the growing usage of IoT devices, edge and cloud computing applications continue to drive unprecedented changes to the UK data centre market. Industry research from August 2025 indicates that just under half of all new data centres being built within the country will be dedicated to AI, including infrastructure specifically designed to support the necessary training and workloads. These new facilities are characterised by specialist hardware, and significant power demands due to the sheer throughput of data.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has chosen Exponential-e to provide reliable internet connectivity across 30 sites in England and Wales, supporting its move toward a flexible, user-centric, zero-trust digital environment. This partnership forms a key part of the CPS Strategy to strengthen its digital capabilities, secure sensitive data, and maximize its digital potential.

Exponential-e’s connectivity solutions are delivering resilient and consistent internet access, enabling CPS to smoothly transition to GovWifi. This transition has facilitated greater collaboration across government agencies, allowing shared working arrangements with organizations such as the police and His Majesty's Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS). As a result, CPS staff across multiple locations now enjoy secure, reliable access to digital services, ensuring a unified approach to operations across courts and shared facilities with other public service providers.
