FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


                CalAmp Announces Agreement to Acquire
                       SmartLink Radio Networks

           Acquisition Expands CalAmp's Addressable Market of
            Public Safety Mobile Communication Infrastructure

OXNARD, CA, March 27, 2007 - CalAmp Corp. (Nasdaq: CAMP), a leading provider
of wireless communication solutions, announced today that it has entered a
definitive agreement to acquire SmartLink Radio Networks, a privately-held
company that provides proprietary interoperable radio communications
platforms and integration services for public safety and critical
infrastructure needs.  Based on a software defined switch, SmartLink's
platform provides interoperability without the need to replace the installed
base of land mobile radios.

"I am pleased to announce the agreement to acquire SmartLink, which
represents another step forward in our strategy to build a significant
business in the growing public safety communications marketplace," said Fred
Sturm, President and Chief Executive Officer of CalAmp.  "This acquisition
further enhances CalAmp's competitive position with a public safety voice
network solution that can be marketed through our existing channels. With
over 90 worldwide installations, SmartLink has a proven product that is well
positioned to benefit from the growing demand for cost effective
interoperable mobile communication systems. CalAmp's Dataradio operation will
provide the sales, integration engineering and operations infrastructure
needed to scale the SmartLink business. We believe that the addition of
SmartLink will improve CalAmp's overall competitive position by addressing
both the data and voice communications requirements of our customers."

SmartLink generated unaudited revenues of approximately $2.3 million during
the trailing 12 month period ended February 28, 2007.  SmartLink is currently
in the process of deploying its platform for several important customers
including Solano County, Calif., the U.S. Department of Justice in San
Francisco and Grand Bahama Power Company. Depending on the size and scope of
a deployment, a SmartLink system sale generates revenues in the range of one
hundred thousand dollars to several million dollars.  CalAmp expects
significant revenue growth for the Smartlink business during the next 12
months based on the current backlog of approximately $3.5 million and
additional expected near-term deployments.

Under terms of the agreement, CalAmp will pay the sellers $8.1 million cash
and will acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities of SmartLink.
CalAmp will transition SmartLink's operations in Wallingford, Connecticut to
its Dataradio facilities in Montreal, Canada and Atlanta, Georgia over the
next several months. The acquisition is expected to be accretive to CalAmp in
the first year after excluding amortization of intangible assets and a one
time charge for In Process R&D arising from the acquisition. The transaction
is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to be completed
within the next several weeks.
