               PCTEL POSTS $22.8 MILLION IN FOURTH QUARTER REVENUE

                   FINISHES 2005 WITH $77.7 MILLION IN REVENUE

                          UP 61 PERCENT OVER PRIOR YEAR


CHICAGO, FEBRUARY 23, 2006 -- PCTEL, Inc. (NASDAQ: PCTI), a leader in broadband
wireless solutions, announced record revenue for the fourth quarter ending
December 31, 2005 and for the entire year. Financial highlights of the quarter
and year were:

     o    $22.8 MILLION in revenue for the quarter, which is an increase of 49
          percent over the fourth quarter 2004. Revenue for the year ended
          December 31, 2005 is $77.7 million, up 61 percent from the same period
          in the prior year.

     o    $15.3 MILLION in revenue for the quarter from the Antenna Products
          Group. This is an increase of 56 percent over the fourth quarter last
          year. Revenue for the year is $54.2 million, up 105% from 2004. The
          comparisons are favorably impacted by the acquisition of GPS and
          mobile antenna product lines from Andrew in Q4 2004 and the
          acquisition of the iVET(TM) product line during the third quarter of
          2005. Without those acquisitions, APG revenue increased 28% over the
          prior year.

     o    $2.4 MILLION in revenue for the quarter from the Mobility Solutions
          Group. This is an increase of 119 percent over the fourth quarter last
          year. Revenue for the year is up 35 percent over 2004.

     o    $4.2 MILLION in revenue for the quarter from the RF Solutions Group.
          This is record performance for this group and reflects the strong
          contribution of UMTS scanner sales and growth of the CLARIFY(R)
          product line. This is a 29 percent increase over the fourth quarter of
          last year. Revenue for the year is up $3.6 million over 2004 or 33
          percent.

     o    $0.9 MILLION in licensing revenue for the quarter. This includes the
          benefit of PCTEL's settlement with US Robotics.



     o    A GAAP NET LOSS OF $(0.2) MILLION FOR THE QUARTER, OR $(0.01) PER
          SHARE, compared to $1.1 million net income, or $0.05 per share for the
          same period in 2004. Fourth quarter results last year included $3.2
          million, or $0.16 per share, of non-cash income from a one time
          reversal of a reserve related to the modem product lines that we
          divested in 2003. Net loss, under GAAP, for the year ended December
          31, 2005 was $(3.7) million, or $(0.18) per share, compared to a net
          loss of $(2.7) million, or $(0.14) per share for 2004.

     o    NON-GAAP NET INCOME OF $2.2 MILLION FOR THE QUARTER, OR $0.11 PER
          SHARE, compared to $2.3 million net income, or $0.11 per share for the
          same period in 2004. Non-GAAP net income for the year ended December
          31, 2005 was $4.5 million, or $0.22 per share, compared to net income
          of $1.7 million, or $0.08 per share for 2004. The company's reporting
          of non-GAAP income excludes non-cash based expenses for the
          amortization of restricted stock awards and amortization of intangible
          assets related to the company's acquisitions. Those expenses were $2.4
          million in the fourth quarter 2005 compared to $1.2 million for the
          same period a year ago, and $8.2 million for the year ended December
          31, 2005 compared to $4.4 million in 2004.

     o    $59.2 MILLION OF CASH at December 31, 2005, up $0.6 million from
          September 30, 2005.

"PCTEL's management team is encouraged by the company's fourth quarter results,"
said Marty Singer, PCTEL's Chairman and CEO. "Our organic investments and
acquisitions have exposed us to the exciting growth associated with wireless
broadband. This includes UMTS, Wi-Fi, WiMax, and the emergence of converged
devices. We are well positioned to participate in these markets. Our 2006 focus
points are top-line revenue growth, operational effectiveness, improvements in
gross margin, and continued development and delivery of broadband wireless

The company will discuss these results and the market trends driving the
increased revenue during its scheduled earnings teleconference today at 6:15 PM
EST.

(a) These adjustments reconcile the Company's GAAP results of operations to its
non-GAAP results of operations. The Company believes that presentation of
results excluding items such as non-cash share-based compensation and
amortization of intangible assets provides meaningful supplemental information
to both management and investors that is indicative of the Company's core
operating results and facilitates comparison of operating results across
reporting periods. The Company uses these non-GAAP measures when evaluating its
financial results as well as for internal planning and forecasting purposes.
These non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as a substitute for the Company's
GAAP results. Neither the Company's GAAP nor non-GAAP results of operations
include the accounting impact had the Company chosen to apply the fair-value
recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 or SFAS No. 123 revised (123R) to expense
share-based compensation related to stock options, the impact of which is
disclosed in the Company's Forms 10-Q and 10-K as filed with the SEC. The
Company will adopt SFAS No. 123R in its first fiscal quarter ending March 31,
2006.

(b) This adjustment reflects the non cash stock based compensation expense for
restricted stock grants and stock bonuses awarded to the Company's employees.

(a) These adjustments reconcile the Company's GAAP results of operations to its
non-GAAP results of operations. The Company believes that presentation of
results excluding items such as non-cash share-based compensation and
amortization of intangible assets provides meaningful supplemental information
to both management and investors that is indicative of the Company's core
operating results and facilitates comparison of operating results across
reporting periods. The Company uses these non-GAAP measures when evaluating its
financial results as well as for internal planning and forecasting purposes.
These non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as a substitute for the Company's
GAAP results. Neither the Company's GAAP nor non-GAAP results of operations
include the accounting impact had the Company chosen to apply the fair-value
recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 or SFAS No. 123 revised (123R) to expense
share-based compensation related to stock options, the impact of which is
disclosed in the Company's Forms 10-Q and 10-K as filed with the SEC. The
Company will adopt SFAS No. 123R in its first fiscal quarter ending March 31,
2006.

(b) This adjustment reflects the non cash stock based compensation expense for
restricted stock grants and stock bonuses awarded to the Company's employees.
