    PCTEL ANNOUNCES ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON SALE OF HSP MODEM PRODUCT LINE


CHICAGO, IL - JULY 11, 2003 - PCTEL, Inc. (Nasdaq: PCTI), a leading provider of
Wi-Fi and cellular mobility software, software-defined radio products and access
technology, announced today additional information regarding the impact of the
HSP modem product divestiture on cash, stock options, and outstanding shares.

"We have received many questions from investors regarding the status of the
buyback program, the number of options impacted by the modem product division
divestiture, and our cash balance," remarked Marty Singer, PCTEL's Chairman and
CEO. "We cannot respond to these questions individually for regulatory reasons
and we are not releasing our financials until July 29, 2003. We thought it would
be best to disclose to all shareholders via a press release the important data
regarding our cash, option, and share positions. We also hope that this will
simplify the discussion on our financials during our quarterly conference call
on July 29th," added Singer.

During the second quarter ending June 30, 2003, PCTEL sold its HSP modem product
line to Conexant Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CNXT) for cash, ongoing royalties, and
more than 40 U.S. patents and patent applications. As a result of this
transaction, 30 employees transferred to Conexant and a similar number were
offered severance packages. Those employees have a limited amount of time to
exercise their vested options and their unvested options will be cancelled.

On June 30, 2003, subsequent to the completion of the sale of the HSP modem
product line, PCTEL had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $112 million,
up $11 million from March 31, 2003. The cash position was positively impacted by
both the initial cash received from the modem product divestiture and employee
stock options exercised during the quarter. 4.1 million employee stock options
were outstanding on June 30, 2003. Of the 4.1 million options, 1.1 million were
vested and in the money on June 30, 2003. The company projects that an
additional 0.3 million unvested options will be cancelled by the end of the year
as employees




in transition leave the company as a result of the HSP modem product
divestiture. Total shares of common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2003 were
approximately 19.9 million.

Shareholders will recall that the company instituted two share buyback programs
during the past 11 months. As of June 30, 2003, the company has repurchased
1.281 million out of the 2.0 million shares authorized by the Board of Directors
under these two buyback programs. During the quarter ended June 30, 2003, 20,000
shares were repurchased under these programs.
