What EY can do for you

Supporting smart connected experiences for tomorrow and beyond will require transforming today’s digital infrastructures and operations so that they can help deliver at scale. Smart connected environments require highly integrated seamless movement of data, new levels of interconnectivity and AI-enabled computation capabilities. Some examples of the new demands placed on digital infrastructure include:

• Device-to-device communications help enable direct interconnectivity and data exchange between smart devices without the need for intermediary network assistance.
• “Five nines” reliability equates to 99.999% uptime to secure a maximum of only 5.26 minutes of downtime per year.
• Latency as low as 5ms significantly enhances real-time applications and services by reducing delay and improving responsiveness.
• Bandwidth as high as 10 Gbps enhances capacity to transmit large amounts of data swiftly.
• Significant increase in coverage of wireless connectivity of remote and subsurface areas.

Scaling smart connected environments calls for the next generation of digital infrastructures that delivers:

• Ubiquitous global wireless mesh built on an open RAN platform, creating an integrated “network of networks
• Interconnected aerial and terrestrial connections through a wireless network that is intelligent and interoperable
• Seamless handoffs between communications networks across diverse environments
• Multi-tier computing architecture that scales to meet the explosion of data processing and storage from edge to cloud
• Smart and efficient computing infrastructure that processes data in the right place, with the right data security requirements
• Computational resources located at near and far edge nodes to help improved latency, limit bandwidth costs, and increase autonomy
• Ecosystems of business and technology applications to help manage and monitor digital infrastructure and smart connected capabilities

Achieving the next generation of digital infrastructure will require organisations to systematically revisit current technology communication and business paradigms. EY teams help companies work through these challenges through our suite of digital infrastructure services including:

• Workforce/Talent Transformation

The evolution of digital infrastructure requires a generational shift and demands innovative approaches to how we work, and how we operate our business and ecosystem partnerships. The shift creates massive opportunities as well as threats for players across the ecosystem. Trillions of dollars are at stake. Without this generational shift in digital infrastructure, reaching Industry 4.0 and embedding generative AI (GenAI) into operations would be impossible.
