PARSIPPANY, N.J. -- Wireless Telecom Group, Inc. (AMEX: WTT) announced today results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007.

For the second quarter, the Company reported net sales of $14,274,000, compared to $12,155,000 for the same period in 2006, an increase of 17%. For the first six months, net sales were $28,403,000, compared to $25,978,000 for the same period in 2006, an increase of 9%.

For the second quarter, net income was $1,004,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to $190,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the same period in 2006, an increase of 428%. Net income for the second quarter includes $420,000, realized as a foreign exchange gain in the German subsidiary. For the first six months, net income was $1,667,000, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared to $1,206,000, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the same period in 2006, an increase of 38%.

The increase in net income for both periods was achieved while investing more in R&D to expand the number of products concurrently in development, as previously announced.

Year-to-date, R&D was $4,286,000, compared to $3,238,000 for the same period in 2006, an increase of 32%.

Monty Johnson, CEO of Wireless Telecom Group, Inc., stated, "We are pleased with our results in the second quarter and year-to-date. Through the first half of 2007, our revenues grew solidly, our orders outpaced shipments, and we improved upon our profitability. Our ability to achieve both top and bottom-line growth demonstrates the success of our growth strategy and the continued demand for our products in the markets we serve.

We have increased our R&D investments in the first half of 2007 in order to pursue attractive and strategic opportunities, most notably 3G wireless deployments in China. These investments have yielded positive results as we have already shipped the first orders for our TD-SCDMA wireless communications tester. During the quarter, we also introduced and received orders for our new market leading products for Tetra professional mobile radio testing, high-performance computer testing, and WiMAX infrastructure. Based on the strong response and initial demand for these products, we believe we are well positioned for continued growth."

He concluded, "Asia is again the home of our largest customer for the quarter. The mobile handset manufacturing market continues to expand within the region, which is consistent with our strategy of partnering with the manufacturers of TD-SCDMA capable handsets. As a result, we remain optimistic that our momentum in the region will continue."
