5G Exchange Open Coopetative Ecosystem
This concept involves an ecosystem enabling service providers to expand their coverage and service portfolio by sharing resources across multiple infrastructure providers. End users benefit from consistent service experiences regardless of location. Automated resource sharing ensures service fulfillment even in new locations where infrastructure is not owned by the default provider. The system emphasizes low latency, reliability, and fault tolerance for critical machine type communication and cloud-enabled factory control tasks.

What is an external review? All licensed HEIs must demonstrate through a monitoring and review process undertaken by the CAA that they continue to meet the SIL and SPA expectations, in order to retain their licensed status and their presence on the National Register. The CAA directs the HEI external review to determine whether the institution meets the academic and educational requirements of the Standards. A new addition to the Standards 2019 is the introduction of a risk-based approach to institutional licensure and program accreditation by the CAA. The risk levels establish the ongoing licensure and accreditation review arrangements for HEIs on a schedule of 3-, 5-, or 7-year visit cycles, or they may lead to denial or probation as applicable. 4
