"Network slicing is no longer a future concept; it is a commercial reality. However, you cannot manage what you cannot measure. Our work with Ericsson is a pivotal first step in providing the transparency needed to prove the value of these premium 5G services to both consumers and enterprises."
"Network slicing enables multiple virtual networks over a single physical infrastructure. Examples are ultra-low latency for gaming, high bandwidth for 8K streaming and mission-critical reliability for industrial IoT and emergency services."
"Before network slicing was activated, the PS5s experienced lag, shuttering, and pixelation. The consoles acted normally when network slicing was activated, according to the report."
Ericsson and Ookla have developed a methodology for measuring and validating 5G network slices, which is critical for the 5G-Advanced era. Network slicing enables multiple virtual networks over a single physical infrastructure, supporting use cases like ultra-low latency gaming, high-bandwidth 8K streaming, and mission-critical reliability for industrial IoT. The methodology allows service-level agreements to be verified in real time through the Ookla Speedtest app, enabling consumers to confirm they receive the performance they pay for. This transparency is essential for proving the value of premium 5G services. Google Fiber and Nokia previously demonstrated similar techniques, showing improved gaming performance when network slicing was activated. Ookla's recent State of the Mobile Union report included 5G quality ratings for major carriers.
