RELM Receives Orders Totaling Approximately $700,000
from the U.S. Department of the Interior

New Digital Radios Compliant with APCO Project 25 Standard

WEST MELBOURNE, Fla, May 4, 2005 – RELM Wireless Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: RELM - News) today announced it received orders totaling approximately $700,000 from agencies of the U.S. Department of the Interior.  This order is for BK Radio-brand digital radio products compliant with the APCO Project 25 standard and was placed under the Company’s contract with the U. S. Department of the Interior.  Deliveries are scheduled for the second quarter 2005.

The public safety technical standard known as APCO Project 25 (P25) is driving accelerated growth for land mobile radio (LMR) equipment as government and public safety radio users nationwide increasingly migrate to compliant digital radio equipment, according to RELM President and CEO David Storey.  A primary requirement of P25 is interoperability among compliant equipment, regardless of the manufacturer, which is key for public safety and homeland security applications. RELM is one of only a few manufacturers whose products presently meet the demanding P25 specifications.

“More government, public safety and homeland security decision-makers are discovering, and buying, the extraordinary value of our P25 solution,” observed David Storey. “Our P25 products offer exceptional performance in critical areas such as battery life, audio clarity and rugged durability, all at a lower cost than comparable P25 equipment. That combination is very appealing to agencies with tight budget constraints.

“The latest orders demonstrate that the number of agencies choosing our P25 solutions continues to grow. With additional new P25 products and capabilities emerging in the coming months, we look forward to building on our momentum,” Storey concluded.

For nearly six decades, RELM Wireless Corp. has manufactured and marketed high-specification two-way communications equipment for use by public safety professionals and government agencies, as well as radios for use in a wide range of commercial and industrial applications, including disaster recovery.  Revolutionary advances include new low-cost digital portable two-way radios compliant with APCO Project 25 technical specifications. Products are manufactured and distributed worldwide under BK Radio, RELM/BK and RELM. The company maintains its headquarters in West Melbourne, Florida and can be contacted through its web site at http://www.relm.com or directly at 1-800-821-2900.

RELM Wireless Adds Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) Capability
to BK Radio APCO Project 25 Digital Radio Base Stations

WEST MELBOURNE, Fla, May 5, 2005 – RELM Wireless Corporation (OTC Bulleting Board: RELM - News) today announced that its BK Radio V Series digital base stations, compliant with the APCO Project 25 (P25) standard for public safety digital radio equipment, will now offer the added capability to transmit and receive signals via the VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) standard for Web-based voice communications.

Combining VoIP and P25 digital LMR (land mobile radio) brings new unique advantages to public safety and homeland security agencies, according to RELM President and CEO David Storey. “VoIP extends the communication area of P25 digital radios, while the radio network remains private and independent of the cellular and conventional telephone networks as well as the commercial utilities,” Storey comments. “While enabling remote access and control, VoIP adds great practical value to the P25 digital radio systems that are fundamental to emergency responders, and in our case, does so without adding comparable cost.

The addition of VoIP to the BK Radio P25 product line is the latest in a host of new products and enhancements introduced by RELM in recent months,” Storey continues. “RELM is one of only a few companies on the leading edge of digital radio products in full compliance with APCO Project 25 specifications. Interoperable with other manufacturers’ equipment in compliance with the same P25 specs, our BK Radio digital product line offers distinctive practical advantages at lower cost than competitors’ comparable products. VoIP is the most recent result of our aggressive product development program that has dynamically expanded our product capabilities and options as well as our addressable markets, especially for P25 digital products that are driving accelerated growth in our industry,” Storey concludes.

For nearly six decades, RELM Wireless Corp. has manufactured and marketed high-specification two-way communications equipment for use by public safety professionals and government agencies, as well as radios for use in a wide range of commercial and industrial applications, including disaster recovery.  Revolutionary advances include new low-cost digital portable two-way radios compliant with APCO Project 25 technical specifications.
