Reuters - UK Focus

Feb 26 (Reuters) - Spirent Communications Plc (Other OTC: SPMYY - news) , a British provider of telecoms testing services, said it expects stronger demand in 2015, especially in the second half.

Spirent tests ethernet networks, 3G and 4G wireless networks and devices for customers including Verizon Communications Inc (Xetra: 868402 - news) , AT&T Inc (Sao Paolo: ATTB34.SA - news) and Cisco Systems Inc (Xetra: 878841 - news) .

The company said on Thursday there was a marked jump in year-end demand in United States, its largest market, after a sharp slowdown in the third quarter.
