EXHIBIT 99.1

   PCTEL AND USROBOTICS SETTLE PATENT INFRINGEMENT LAWSUIT; USROBOTICS SECURES
                         LICENSE TO PCTEL MODEM PATENTS

CHICAGO, Dec 12, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- PCTEL, Inc. (NASDAQ:PCTI), a global
leader in wireless broadband solutions, and USRobotics Corporation, a leader in
Internet access and networking, resolved their dispute regarding the use of
PCTEL's modem technology. Under the agreement, USRobotics will take a license to
specific PCTEL modem patents. PCTEL will receive a lump-sum royalty payment, a
cross-license to USRobotics patents and patent applications, and royalties in
the future that can be satisfied with cash payments or product purchases. The
exact terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

"We welcome USRobotics as a licensee," said Marty Singer, PCTEL's Chairman and
CEO. "USRobotics has a storied history as a global modem provider and we are
pleased to have a positive relationship with them going forward. The settlement
with USRobotics also permits us to focus our efforts on the remaining
plaintiffs," added Singer.

PCTEL sued USRobotics in 2003. Agere Systems Inc., Broadcom Corporation, Lucent
Technologies Inc., and 3Com Corporation were also named in the patent
infringement lawsuit. PCTEL claimed that all of these companies utilized
critical modem technology protected by PCTEL's patents. Since filing the
lawsuit, Broadcom, 3Com and USRobotics have settled with PCTEL. During the same
period, Intel Corporation took a license. PCTEL's licensees now include Conexant
Systems Inc., Smart Link Ltd., 3Com, ESS Technology, Inc., Ricoh Company, Ltd.,
Texas Instruments Incorporated, Motorola, Inc., Intel, Broadcom, and USRobotics.
Silicon Laboratories Inc. also has licensed or purchased several PCTEL patents.

"USRobotics respects the intellectual property of others," said Joe Hartnett,
USRobotics' CEO. "We are satisfied with the settlement and pleased to have this
matter behind us. We look forward to a productive relationship with PCTEL,"
added Hartnett.
