its 5,000 square feet facility and plans to spend $ two million over the

next three months in areas of infrastructure and product support. Going

forward, Spirent also plans to undertake test automation and training in

manufacturers to establish quality assurance and research and development

facilities in India and China," said VP of worldwide sales at Spirent

burgeoning market and build stronger relationships with our existing

customers in India," he added.
