M240 is a MUTA test node for base-station validation with multiple real UEs. Combined with MUTA software, it supports configurable application traffic and a test setup that can expand across multiple nodes for larger multi-UE workloads.
Build the load scenario you need to evaluate
Use UE groups and application traffic to assess the base station under concurrent user activity. Define which groups are active, which applications they run and how test sessions overlap.
For a capacity test plan, specify the target UE population, active-user pattern, radio configuration and traffic mix. These inputs define the load the test needs to generate.
Plan a multi-node test setup
The MUTA architecture supports multiple test nodes under one graphical interface. M240 can form part of a larger multi-UE configuration.
Discuss the selected UE hardware, bands and expansion requirements with Vankom before finalizing the test setup.
Connect hardware scale with software control
MUTA software manages UE groups and executes test cases, while supported IP applications generate the configured traffic. Sessions can run in sequence or in parallel.
Plan the test sequence and required observations alongside the node configuration so the setup matches the engineering question you need to answer.

Questions to ask when planning your test
How can I load-test a gNodeB with multiple real UEs?
Use M240 within a MUTA setup, organize the UEs into groups and assign supported application traffic. Configure the test sessions to represent the concurrent workload you want to evaluate.
Can the test setup expand beyond one node?
Yes. The MUTA architecture supports multiple test nodes controlled through a common graphical interface. Confirm the appropriate node and UE configuration for the intended scale.
What is the difference between M208 and M240 for selection?
M208 provides an eight-UE node for a focused test workload. M240 is an option for a larger multi-UE setup. Choose from the concurrent-UE target, application mix and expansion plan.
What should a base-station capacity test specification include?
Include the active-UE target, radio bands and configuration, application mix, session timing and the observations required from the test. Review these requirements with the proposed hardware and software setup.
