Earnings Release Scheduled For March 4, 2010

Bloomingdale, IL — January 11, 2010 — PCTEL, Inc. (NASDAQ: PCTI), a leader in propagation and optimization solutions for the wireless industry, announced today that it anticipates total revenue of approximately $14.8 million and gross profit margin in a range of 46 percent to 48 percent for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2009. The company’s total cash and investments at December 31, 2009 were approximately $75.5 million, a decrease of $2.9 million from the quarter ended September 30, 2009. During the fourth quarter the company paid out cash of $4.3 million for the Ascom scanning receiver acquisition, $800,000 related to the distribution rights and patented technology in the IP litigation settlement with Wider Networks, and approximately $700,000 for the repurchase of common shares pursuant to its stock buyback program. The company generated approximately $2.9 million in cash and investments from all other sources during the quarter.

The company has scheduled its fourth quarter earnings release conference call for Thursday March 4, 2010 after the market closes. The reporting date accommodates the accounting valuation work related to the acquisition of the Ascom scanning receiver business and the GSMA telecom conference in Barcelona. Details for the conference call will be provided at a later date.

“The sequential revenue growth from the second to the fourth quarter suggests that some public safety projects that were dormant are now moving forward, that cellular operators are beginning to deploy new technologies, and that distributors are willing to take a slightly greater inventory risk,” said Marty Singer, PCTEL’s Chairman and CEO. “Our gross margins are holding up in a challenging environment and we are seeing some encouraging growth in specific vertical markets. We will provide greater detail on these trends as well as on our operating results when we release earnings,” added Singer.
