M208 is a compact base-station tester with eight embedded 5G UEs for laboratory validation, field debugging and automated regression testing. It combines real-terminal behavior, application traffic and protocol analysis for a focused multi-UE test setup.
When does an eight-UE tester fit the job?
M208 is designed for base-station functional validation, small-scale performance testing and regression workflows. It also supports field debugging and handover-scenario analysis.
Choose the required UE count from the test objective: how many terminals must be active together, which applications they run and what behavior you need to observe.
Debug access and service behavior
Control the UE group from one graphical interface, generate supported application traffic and inspect protocol information. M208 supports LTE and NR signaling collection with UE L3 analysis.
Protocol analysis can help investigate access, registration, bearer establishment and service continuity issues in the configured test environment.
Bring repeatable tests into your workflow
M208 provides a Python API for integration with CI/TA workflows. Engineers can combine graphical control, AT commands and scripts for debugging and regression execution.
For configuration review, provide the base station, required radio bands, UE workload, application mix and automation environment.

Questions to ask when planning your test
Is eight-UE capacity enough for my base-station test?
That depends on the planned concurrent-UE workload and application mix. M208 has eight embedded 5G UEs. Match that capacity to the test plan before selecting the setup.
Can M208 be used for automated regression testing?
Yes. M208 provides a Python API and supports CI/TA workflow integration. Graphical control and scripts can be combined for test execution and analysis.
Can I use M208 for field debugging as well as lab testing?
M208 is designed for laboratory validation and field debugging. Its compact configuration supports a test workflow that includes UE control, traffic generation and protocol analysis.
Which information should I provide for an M208 quotation?
Share your base-station model, required bands, concurrent-UE workload, test cases and automation needs. Ask Vankom to confirm the current hardware and software configuration for those requirements.
