5G Lab – 5G SliceRunner

Real-Time Network Slicing Performance Monitoring

Network Slicing is one of the “holy grails” of 5G Standalone (SA), allowing a single physical network to provide multiple virtual “slices” with different performance characteristics like lower latency or higher throughput.

⚙️ Key Capabilities

🧪 URLLC Detection

Automatically identifies if your current connection is supporting Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication (URLLC) slices.

  • Priority Latency: The tool detects if your carrier is providing prioritized slices for time-sensitive applications.
  • Visual Indicators: Real-time status icons for Slice availability.

⏱️ Latency Comparison

Simultaneously measures latency on the Default 5G slice versus the URLLC low-latency slice.

  • Millisecond Accuracy: Get a direct side-by-side comparison of Ping (RTT) and Jitter.
  • Performance Jitter: Track if your connection holds its latency “floor” or experiences spikes.

📉 Real-Time Performance Graphs

A live visual monitoring tool showing the stability of your active network slices.

  • Historical Data: View the last 60 seconds of ping performance as you move through different signal areas.
  • Success Rates: Monitor test packets to ensure slice reliability in fringe signal areas.

Why it matters: 5G SliceRunner provides empirical proof that a “Low-Latency” slice is actually delivering better performance than the standard 5G pipe. This data is essential for gaming, remote operations, and industrial IoT validation.
