Bloomingdale, IL July 24, 2008 — PCTEL, Inc. (NASDAQ: PCTI), a leader in propagation and optimization solutions for the wireless industry, announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008.

The Company completed the sale of its Mobility Solutions Group (MSG) on January 4, 2008. The Company’s financial statements reflect MSG as a discontinued operation.

Second Quarter Financial Highlights — Continuing Operations (excludes MSG)

• $20.3 million in revenue from continuing operations for the quarter, an increase of 23 percent over the same period last year and an increase of 11% over the first quarter of this year.

• Gross Profit from continuing operations of 48% versus 45% in the same period last year.

• GAAP Operating Profit from continuing operations of 4% as compared to a loss of (21)% in the same period last year.

• Non-GAAP Operating Profit from continuing operations of 14% versus 1% in the same period last year. The Company’s reporting of non-GAAP operating profit excludes expenses for restructuring, stock based compensation, amortization and impairment of intangible assets and goodwill related to the Company’s acquisitions.

• GAAP net income from continuing operations of $0.5 million for the quarter, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(3.2) million, or $(0.15) per share for the same period in 2007.

• Non-GAAP net income from continuing operations of $3.0 million for the quarter, or $0.15 per diluted share compared to $0.8 million of net income, or $0.04 per diluted share for the same period in 2007. The Company’s reporting of non-GAAP income excludes expenses for restructuring, stock based compensation, amortization and impairment of intangible assets and goodwill related to the Company’s acquisitions, and non-cash related income tax expense.

• $85 million of cash and investments at June 30, 2008, of which $15 million is classified as long term. The Company completed its previously announced 3.0 million share buyback during the quarter with the repurchase of 1.88 million shares for $17.0 million at an average price of $9.04. The company also paid out $10.3 million in a one-time cash dividend to shareholders during the quarter.

“The global transition to spread spectrum wireless technologies is creating strong opportunities for our scanning receivers and for specific antenna product families,” said Marty Singer, PCTEL’s Chairman and CEO. “We continue to benefit as well from the focus that we achieved with the divestiture of the software business.”

Second Quarter Financial Highlights — Discontinued Operations (MSG)

• GAAP net income from discontinued operations of $187,000 in the second quarter 2008 represents an adjustment to accrued income tax related to the gain on sale of the Mobility Solutions Group recorded in the first quarter 2008. The Company excludes discontinued operations from its non-GAAP earnings.

This schedule reconciles the company’s GAAP operating income and GAAP net income from continuing operations to its non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP net income from continuing operations. The company believes that presentation of this schedule provides meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors that is indicative of the company’s core operating results and facilitates comparison of operating results across reporting periods. The company uses these non-GAAP when evaluating its financial results as well as for internal planning and forecasting purposes. These non-GAAP measuers should not be viewed as a substitute for the company’s GAAP results.

(a)	These adjustments reflect the stock based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, and restructuring charges
(b)	These adjustments reflect the non-cash income tax expense
