🧪 Introducing the 5G Lab
The 5G Lab is a new dedicated environment for network engineers and power users, providing deep-dive tools specifically for 5G Standalone (SA) architectures.
- 5G Lab Tab: A centralized space for advanced 5G SA utilities, experimental features, and real-time network validation tools.
- Startup Customization: You can now set the 5G Lab as your default tab when the app launches via Settings > Startup Tab.
🔢 5G NR Cell ID Format Tool
Correctly identifying your base station (gNB) is now easier than ever with our live formatting engine.
- Carrier Specific Formatting: Automatically detects your carrier (e.g., O2, Vodafone, EE) and applies the correct 36-bit NCI split between gNB ID and Cell ID.
- Manual Bit-Split Overrides: Take full control with manual bit-splits (20 to 32 bits) for private networks or new carrier deployments.
- Live NCI Calculator: Paste any 36-bit NR Cell Identity to see an instant conversion based on your current or custom bit-split configuration.
🏃 5G SliceRunner Monitoring
Validate the performance of 5G Network Slicing with our new real-time SliceRunner utility.
- URLLC Detection: Identify if your network is actively supporting Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication slices.
- Latency Benchmarking: Compare the latency and jitter of your default 5G connection against dedicated low-latency slices in real-time.
- Stability Graphing: Monitor the consistency of your 5G SA slices while moving or during heavy data transfers.
🛠️ Technical & Layout Refinements
We’ve cleaned up the interface to ensure a more professional and focused experience for all users.
Navigation Logic: Improved tab switching performance and state persistence when navigating between complex diagnostic views.
