Bangalore, November 06, 2015: Spirent Communications, the leading provider of connected car and automotive Ethernet test solutions, today announced that its Automotive Ethernet BroadR-Reach® Conformance and Performance test solution has been selected by Renault. It will be used to help develop next generation in-vehicle networks that provide drivers and passengers with the multiple benefits of connected cars.
