Vankom MUTA is a 5G RAN testing solution that combines real commercial user equipment (UE), test nodes and automation software to validate base stations. It brings UE control, application traffic and test execution into one workflow for laboratory validation and field issue reproduction.
Which base-station testing problem are you solving?
Functional validation: organize UE attach, detach and application sessions to investigate how a gNodeB behaves with real terminals.
Multi-UE load testing: combine UE groups and configurable traffic models to evaluate base-station performance under concurrent application traffic.
Repeatable test execution: organize cases, scenarios and sessions so engineers can rerun a defined workflow when investigating a change.
Choose the hardware and software for your test plan
Start with the required number of active UEs, radio bands and traffic profiles. M208 provides an eight-UE test node; M240 offers a node option for a larger multi-UE setup. MUTA software manages UE groups and executes test cases.
MUTA supports multiple test nodes under a common graphical interface. Confirm the node configuration and software scope against your project before choosing a setup.
| Your test focus | Component to review | Selection inputs |
|---|---|---|
| Eight-UE functional validation | M208 eight-UE tester | Concurrent UE target, bands and automation workflow |
| Larger multi-UE load scenario | M240 multi-UE tester | UE scale, traffic mix and node configuration |
| UE control, traffic and case execution | multi-UE test automation software | Test steps, applications and analysis needs |
Define the traffic and evidence you need
Configure TCP/UDP, HTTP, FTP and other supported application traffic for selected UE groups. The software also provides UE protocol views and counters to support analysis.
For a useful test discussion, share the gNodeB model, radio configuration, concurrent-UE target, application mix, test sequence and required logs. These inputs help define the hardware and software scope.

Add an AI-assisted workflow with CellBot
CellBot connects test intent with case creation, approved execution and result analysis in MUTA. Engineers can describe a task in English or Chinese, review the proposed cases, and examine measurement and protocol evidence when investigating a failure.
Questions to ask when planning your test
What equipment do I need for multi-UE gNodeB testing?
A MUTA setup combines compatible UE test nodes and control software with your base station and test network. Select the nodes and radio configuration from your test plan, then define the UE groups and application traffic.
Does MUTA use real UEs or software-only UE emulation?
MUTA uses real commercial UE hardware in its test nodes. The software controls UE groups, application traffic and test cases. The required bands and UE capabilities should be checked for the selected hardware configuration.
How can I test a base station with multiple traffic types?
MUTA lets you assign supported IP applications to UE groups and configure application parameters. Test sessions can run in sequence or in parallel to build the traffic scenario you want to evaluate.
How should I choose between M208 and M240?
Use M208 when an eight-UE node fits the planned validation workload. Consider an M240 setup when you need a larger multi-UE configuration. Confirm the active-UE target, traffic mix, radio bands and expansion needs with Vankom.
