PCTEL Antenna Products Group Announces New Combination GPS and Digital Cellular Antenna for Mobile Transit Applications; AST8001900GPS Covers Mobile AMPS, GSM, UMTS, CDMA 2000, TDMA, PDC and GPS

Business Wire, Feb 13, 2006

BARCELONA, Spain -- PCTEL, Inc. (NASDAQ:PCTI), a leader in wireless broadband solutions, announced today the preview of its Antenna Products Group's (APG) new AST8001900GPS transit antenna at the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona. This new model includes an active GPS antenna that allows vehicle tracking, as well as two additional antenna elements that provide wideband coverage of 806-960 MHz and 1710-1990 MHz digital cellular frequencies. Although the antenna can also be used for fixed applications, it is ideal for mobile vehicle tracking applications in the public transportation, railroad, public safety, emergency, and trucking industries.

"Although some of PCTEL APG's most recent product development efforts have involved broadband wireless infrastructure products for Wi-Fi and Public Safety applications, the Land Mobile Radio segment of the market has remained a core business for our company and key to our continued success as we increase our presence in global markets," commented Steve Deppe, President of PCTEL Antenna Products Group, Inc. "The new AST8001900GPS is the latest addition to our PCTEL APG Antenna Specialists(R) line and part of our expanding selection of wideband and multi-band antenna offerings designed to meet the requirements of mobile radio customers around the world," added Deppe.

Other key features of the new AST8001900GPS include 26 dB gain performance at the GPS frequency band (unity gain at digital cellular frequencies) and a wideband design that requires no tuning. Its rugged, high impact molded housing protects the antenna elements from severe environmental conditions. Measuring less than 3.4 inches (8.64 cm) tall, this antenna is ideal for permanent mount installations where vehicle height clearance is a concern.

PCTEL will be displaying the new AST8001900GPS transit antenna as well as other wireless broadband antenna solutions at the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona, Spain -- February 13-16, 2006 (Booth #G24 Hall 2).

The AST8001900GPS transit antenna will be available for sale worldwide through the PCTEL APG sales network by the end of March, 2006. For additional information, please write us at antenna.sales@pctel.com or visit us at http://antenna.pctel.com.
