Spirent
Spirent, a global leader in communications device and network testing, brings their off-the-shelf solutions to the military and aerospace sectors through a strategic relationship with Dualos. This collaboration will leverage Dualos’ deep understanding of applications for aero and defense programs and Spirent’s technologies to lower program costs, and accelerate test cycles.
A commercial communications device and network testing leader for over 85 years, Spirent Communications leverages expertise in testing, assurance, analytics and security to deliver the promise of superior communications.
The scope of realistic testing scenarios is often too broad to account for completely when field-testing devices and networks on the range, leaving systems and personele open to unknown disruption. Spirent directly contributes to the mission success, as well as to the overall health and safety of armed forces, through pre-deployment, in-lab testing and simulation. By testing in a multitude of real world scenarios, often impossible to recreate on the range, Spirent helps bring clarity to increasingly complex technological and business challenges for developers, service providers and enterprise networks throughout the military/aerospace sectors.
