FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

          CalAmp Satellite Products Requalified By Key Customer

   Company expects to resume shipments to its historically largest customer


OXNARD, Calif., January 16, 2008--CalAmp Corp. (Nasdaq: CAMP), a leading
provider of wireless products, services, and solutions, announced today that
a key Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) customer has requalified two of
CalAmp's products, including the latest generation offering that supports
expanded high-definition television (HDTV) content along with a popular older
generation product line.

As previously announced, a product performance issue affecting certain DBS
equipment manufactured by CalAmp for this customer resulted in the customer
returning product and putting orders on hold pending the requalification of
products.  Last month, CalAmp announced that it had reached a settlement
agreement with this customer related to this issue.  Today's announcement
that the customer has requalified the products paves the way for CalAmp to
resume business with this important customer.

Fred Sturm, CalAmp's President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "I am
very pleased to announce that CalAmp products have been requalified by the
DBS service provider that has been our largest customer over the past several
years.  We will immediately begin working with our customer towards
restarting the production process.  Initially, we expect we will be shipping
a mix of both revenue-generating new units and non-revenue refurbished units.
We believe these shipments will likely resume during our fiscal 2009 first
quarter, and we look forward to rebuilding our market position with this key
customer."

"anticipate", "goal" and variations of these words and similar expressions,

cost-effectively integrate its acquired businesses, the Company's ability to
obtain an amendment of its bank credit agreement to eliminate the event of
default under the credit agreement, the risk that the ultimate cost of
resolving a product performance issue with a key DBS customer may exceed the
amount of reserves established for that purpose, and other risks or
uncertainties that are described in the Company's fiscal 2007 Annual Report
on Form 10-K filed on May 17, 2007 with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) and in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on January
