PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This
summary is not complete and may not contain all of the information that you
should consider before investing in the securities. You should read the entire
prospectus carefully. Unless we otherwise say so, when we discuss our
outstanding securities, we exclude all of our shares of common stock issuable
upon the exercise of currently outstanding warrants and options and the
conversion of our convertible securities.
We develop, manufacture and market a wide variety of electronic noise
sources, and in addition, until March 11, 1999, test instruments for the
wireless telecommunications industry. Historically, our products have been
primarily used to test the performance and capability of cellular/PCS and
satellite communications systems. Other applications include radio, radar,
wireless local area network (WLAN) and digital television. On March 11, 1999, we
consummated the sale of our wireless and satellite test equipment business.
Noise products are primarily used as a method of testing to determine
if sophisticated communications systems are capable of receiving the information
being transmitted. The widest application for our noise source products are as a
reference standard in test instruments which measure unwanted noise and
interference in devices and components utilized in communications equipment.
This is accomplished by comparing a noise source with known characteristics to
the unwanted noise found in the communications system being transmitted. By
generating a random noise signal, in combination with a life transmission
signal, a noise generator simulates real world signals and allows the
manufacturer to determine if its product is performing to specifications. Noise
source testing is often more cost-efficient, faster and accurate than
alternative conventional methods using signal generators.
Coupled with other electronic devices, noise generators are also an
effective means of jamming, blocking and disturbing enemy radar and other
communications, as well as insulating and protecting friendly communications. In
the jamming mode, our noise source products block out or disrupt unwanted radar
and radio transmissions generally without being detected.
Our noise source products are widely used in radar systems as part of
built-in test equipment to continuously monitor the radar receiver. We have
continually experienced sales growth in the area of satellite communications
where the use of back-up receivers is becoming more common as the demand for
communication availability and reliability is increasing. Testing by our noise
source products assures that the back-up receiver is always functional and ready
should the communication using the first receiver fail. Our noise source
products can test satellite communication receivers for video, telephone and
data communications.
Our products come in various sizes, styles and models with varying
degrees of capabilities and can be customized to meet particular customer
requirements. They may be incorporated directly into electronic equipment
concerned or may be stand alone components or devices that are connected to, or
used in conjunction with, such equipment operating from an external site, in the
factory or in the field. Our noise source products range from relatively simple
items with no control mechanism or auxiliary components to complex, automated
components containing computerized or microprocessor-based controls. Prices of
noise sources range from approximately $200 to $50,000 per unit, with most sales
occurring between $700 and $2,500 per unit.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our products have extended useful lives but are generally recalibrated
every year to ensure their accuracy. We provide recalibitration services for a
fee to our domestic and international customers and also calibrate test
equipment manufactured by others. Although such services accounted for less than
5% of fiscal 1998 sales, we feel this area will continue to grow as more
products are sold into the global marketplace.
ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY
We were incorporated in the state of New Jersey in January 1985 under
the name of Noise Com, Inc. On March 28, 1993, we changed our name to Wireless
Telecom Group, Inc. Our executive offices are located at East 64 Midland Avenue,
Paramus, New Jersey 07652, and our telephone number is (201) 261-8797.

RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the following factors and other
information in this prospectus before deciding to invest in the securities we
are offering in this prospectus.
WE EXPERIENCED A CHANGE OF MANAGEMENT IN FISCAL 1998. OUR INABILITY TO QUICKLY
AND EFFICIENTLY CORRECT PROLONGED PROBLEMS, IF ANY, ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH A
MANAGERIAL TRANSITION COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR OPERATIONS,
AND INVESTORS COULD LOSE THE VALUE OF THEIR INVESTMENT IN OUR SECURITIES.
In fiscal 1998, we experienced a change of management and replaced our
existing Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman of the Board and Chief
Financial Officer. Our current Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman
of the Board, Mr. Edward Garcia, commenced serving in such capacities in January
1999. Prior to serving as our CEO, President and Chairman, Mr. Garcia served as
Vice President of Operations since October 1995 and Executive Vice President and
Chief Operating Officer since August 1996. Mr. Garcia joined Wireless Telecom
Group, Inc. in 1990 and has served in various positions, including sales manager
and Chief Engineer. Although we believe Mr. Garcia's transition to Chief
Executive Officer, President and Chairman of the Board has been successful to
date, we may experience administrative and managerial problems in the future
typically associated with such a transition. Such problems, if prolonged, could
require and divert energy, time, money and other resources otherwise allocated
to, and better spent on, the day-to-day operations of our business, thereby
causing a decrease in our productivity and failure to meet deadlines. If we are
unable to correct such problems quickly and efficiently, our operations could be
materially adversely affected, and our investors could lose the value of their
investment in our securities.
OUR FAILURE TO SUCCESSFULLY INTEGRATE A NEW LINE OF NOISE ASSETS WHICH WE
PURCHASED IN MARCH 1999 INTO OUR OPERATIONS COULD MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECT
OUR BUSINESS, AND INVESTORS COULD EXPERIENCE A DECREASE OR TOTAL LOSS IN THE
VALUE OF THEIR INVESTMENT.
In March 1999, we purchased the assets of Telecom Analysis Systems,
Inc. ("TAS") relating to single-function noise generation, and entered into
non-competition agreements with the businesses associated with such assets. In
consideration for TAS's sale of the noise assets and entering into a
non-competition agreement with us, we paid $2.5 million to TAS. Although we
anticipate adopting and integrating the noise assets into our on-going
operations, we can not give any assurances that we will be able to expediently
and successfully do so, and we may have to expend energy, time, money and other
resources of our management and employees which would be otherwise allocated to
the day-to-day operations of our business. Our prolonged failure, if any, to
successfully integrate the noise assets into our business or our failure to make
them a profitable component of our business could have a material adverse effect
on our business, and investors could experience a decrease or total loss of
their investment in our securities. See next risk factor.
WE SOLD OUR WIRELESS AND SATELLITE TEST EQUIPMENT BUSINESS IN MARCH 1999. OUR
FAILURE TO SUCCESSFULLY INVEST OR ALLOCATE THE PROCEEDS OF SUCH SALE COULD HAVE
A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, AND INVESTORS COULD EXPERIENCE A
DECREASE OR TOTAL LOSS IN THE VALUE OF THEIR INVESTMENT.
Associated with the transaction discussed in the previous risk factor,
we sold our wireless and satellite test equipment business in March 1999 to TAS
for a purchase price of approximately $19 million,$1.5 million of which is
currently held in escrow to secure certain of our obligations under an Asset
Purchase Agreement, dated January 7, 1999, relating to such sale. We currently
anticipate using such proceeds for working capital and potential future
acquisitions. However, our failure to successfully allocate such proceeds or
otherwise maximize the total return of any interim investment of such proceeds
could have a material adverse effect on our business. Also, we could lose the
$1.5 million currently held in escrow if we fail to honor certain of our
obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement. See next risk factor.
7
INVESTORS WILL EXPERIENCE DILUTION TO THE BOOK VALUE OF THEIR COMMON STOCK WHEN
WE ISSUE ADDITIONAL SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK AS PARTIAL CONSIDERATION TO A
COMPANY WHICH WE ARE MERGING INTO ONE OF OUR WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARIES.
In September 1999, we executed a definitive agreement to merge Boonton
Electronics Corporation ("Boonton"), a manufacturer of test equipment dedicated
to measuring power of RF and Microwave systems used in multiple
telecommunications markets, into one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. Under the
terms of the agreement, each share of Boonton common stock will be converted
into 1.4 shares of our common stock and an amount equal to 0.175 times the
closing price of our common stock on the closing date. Based upon the closing
price of our common stock on September 3, 1999, the transaction is valued at
approximately $7 million, and is expected to be completed before December 31,
1999, subject to Boonton stockholder approval as well as other customary
requirements. Because we are issuing additional common stock as partial
consideration of the purchase price to Boonton, thereby increasing the number of
shares outstanding, investors will experience a dilution in the book value of
their common stock. See next risk factor.
IF WE ARE UNSUCCESSFUL IN INTEGRATING BOONTON INTO OUR OPERATIONS, STOCKHOLDERS
MAY EXPERIENCE A DECREASE IN, OR A TOTAL LOSS OF, THEIR INVESTMENT.
In connection with the merger discussed in previous risk factor, our
management team will have to expend time, energy and other resources to ensure
the successful integration of Boonton into our operations. Although we have
allotted resources for such transition, if we are unsuccessful in integrating
Boonton into our operations on a timely and effective basis, our management may
have to spend additional time and resources which may be better allocated to
running the other existing areas of our business, thereby causing delays and
other unforeseen inefficiencies, including the failure to meet deadlines and/or
honor other general existing contractual obligations. Our prolonged failure, if
any, to successfully integrate Boonton into our business or our failure to make
it a profitable component of our business could have a material adverse effect
on our business, and investors could experience a decrease or total loss of
their investment in our securities. See previous risk factor.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds when the selling stockholders sell
their common stock to others. However, we may receive proceeds when the selling
stockholders exercise their options to acquire such common stock. We intend to
use any such proceeds for research and development and other general corporate
purposes.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The selling stockholders may sell their shares of common stock through
public or private transactions at current market prices, or at previously
negotiated prices.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
"(a) Rule 415 Offering.
"(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
"(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
"(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes
of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of
the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be in the initial bona fide offering thereof.
"(h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue."
