RELM AGAIN REJECTS WIRELESS AGE COMMUNICATIONS’ UNSOLICITED PROPOSAL



WEST MELBOURNE, FL, July 26, 2004 - RELM Wireless Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: RELM - News) today announced that at a meeting today its Board of Directors again unanimously rejected the unsolicited stock-for-stock merger proposal of Wireless Age Communications, Inc.  On July 20, 2004, RELM’s Board of Directors unanimously rejected Wireless Age Communications’ unsolicited proposal that the Company initially received on July 16, 2004.  Wireless Age Communications resubmitted its proposal on July 22, 2004.


George N. Benjamin, III, chairman of RELM, stated: “Our Board of Directors has again considered Wireless Age Communications’ proposal and unanimously rejected it, concluding that it is not in the best interests of RELM and its shareholders and other stakeholders.  We continue to believe that the interests of RELM and its shareholders and other stakeholders will be best served by the Company remaining independent and pursuing the strategy already in place for enhancing future growth and profitability.  To that end, we are unremittingly committed to protecting the interests of RELM and its shareholders and other stakeholders.”


Following is the text of a letter sent by the chairman of RELM to John Simmonds, chief executive officer of Wireless Age Communications, following the board’s unanimous decision to once more reject Wireless Age Communications’ unsolicited stock-for-stock merger proposal:

Dear Mr. Simmonds:


Please be advised that the Board of Directors of RELM Wireless Corporation has again unanimously rejected the unsolicited stock-for-stock merger proposal of Wireless Age Communications, Inc.


We have concluded once more that the interests of RELM and its shareholders and other stakeholders will be best served by the Company remaining independent and pursuing the strategy already in place for enhancing future growth and profitability.  To that end, we are unremittingly committed to protecting the interests of RELM and its shareholders and other stakeholders.


RELM neither sought nor invited nor welcomes Wireless Age Communications’ overtures.  As such, we do not intend to respond to any further overtures.


To reiterate, RELM is not for sale.


Sincerely,


George N. Benjamin, III
