Exhibit 99.1

PCTEL Board of Directors Authorizes Stock Buyback

Additional 500,000 Shares Approved

CHICAGO, May 16, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) — PCTEL, Inc. (NASDAQ:PCTI), a leader in wireless broadband solutions, announced today that its Board of Directors unanimously approved management’s proposal to buyback an additional 500,000 shares. Previously, the Board had approved three stock buyback programs for a total of 2,500,000 shares. All but 140,000 of those shares have been acquired.

“Stock buyback programs enable us to offset the shareholder dilution related to employee stock grants and stock options,” said Marty Singer, PCTEL’s Chairman and CEO. “They also reflect our confidence in the future value of the stock,” added Singer.

PCTEL buys back stock only in the middle month of each quarter provided that three days have elapsed since the last earnings release. Stock repurchases are suspended in the event of any pending material events. PCTEL executives may not sell stock during any buyback activity. Trading volume also limits the amount of stock that can be repurchased per day.
