RELM WIRELESS SECURES NEW REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY

WEST MELBOURNE, FL, October 28, 2008 -- RELM Wireless Corporation (AMEX: RWC) today announced the closing of a $3.5 million revolving line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank.  The revolving line of credit has a two-year term and is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, principally trade receivables and inventory.  The revolving line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank replaced the Company’s revolving line of credit with RBC Centura Bank, which the Company terminated prior to the closing.  

“We are pleased to reestablish our longstanding relationship with Silicon Valley Bank and to secure a credit facility to provide, if needed, additional working capital to execute our strategic business plans and growth initiatives, including the continued expansion of our next-generation KNG P25 digital product line,” stated RELM President and Chief Executive Officer Dave Storey.  “Additionally, considering the current credit environment, this financing package indicates Silicon Valley Bank’s confidence in our operations and plans for future growth and success.”

For additional information about the Company’s revolving credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank, please see the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated October 23, 2008 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission later today.
