              CalAmp and Rogers Corporation Reach Settlement


OXNARD, Calif., January 9, 2009--CalAmp Corp. (NASDAQ: CAMP), a leading
provider of wireless products, services and solutions, announced today it has
reached an out-of-court settlement of litigation with Rogers Corporation.
The litigation related to product performance issues involving laminate
supplied by Rogers that was included in certain products manufactured by
CalAmp and sold to a Direct Broadcast Satellite customer.

Pursuant to the settlement announced today, Rogers agreed to make a cash
payment to CalAmp of $9 million.  As part of the settlement agreement the
parties acknowledged that Rogers admitted no wrongdoing or liability for any
claim, and that Rogers agreed to settle this litigation to avoid the time,
expense and inconvenience of continued litigation.

Under the terms of CalAmp's bank credit agreement, CalAmp is required to use
approximately $4 million of the settlement proceeds to pay down its bank term
loan.  CalAmp is currently in discussions with the banks on the possibility
of making an additional term loan reduction above and beyond this amount.

Commenting on the announcement, Rick Gold, CalAmp's President and Chief
Executive Officer said, "I am pleased that we have reached a satisfactory
resolution of this matter. This settlement significantly improves CalAmp's
financial strength and we believe is the best outcome for our shareholders."
