BARCELONA, Spain--(Business Wire)--
PCTEL, Inc. (NASDAQ:PCTI), a leading provider of wireless
solutions, today announced the introduction of a high performance
wideband and multi-band omni-directional antenna for cellular
applications.

   The antenna provides broadband and multi-band coverage for
cellular technologies including various GSM, CDMA and UMTS bands in a
single robust housing. This highly efficient antenna (VSWR less than
2.0) implements a unique design to promote flat 4dBi gain and
consistent patterns across the bands. The antenna allows deployments
of pico-cells with optimal coverage across multiple bands using one
single antenna. It is also ideal for indoor coverage, telemetry, fixed
wireless gateways, and remote applications. The antenna operates in
both the 806-960 MHz and the 1710-2170 MHz bands.

   "As operators migrate to 3G services, there is a need for
multi-banded products to support the transition for voice and data
services," said Jeff Miller, General Manager of PCTEL's Antenna
Products Group. "Our new products reflect PCTEL's commitment to work
directly with customers to develop high-quality and cost-effective
solutions that meet their needs," added Miller.

   PCTEL will showcase the new Antenna along with its other antenna
products and its entire portfolio of wireless solutions at the 2008
Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. The PCTEL booth will be
located at 2C71 in Hall 2.
