                      PCTEL POSTS $26.8 MILLION IN REVENUE

     46 PERCENT INCREASE INCLUDES $7 MILLION FROM PATENT DISPUTE RESOLUTION-

              HIGH MARGIN SOFTWARE AND SCANNER SALES UP 45 PERCENT

CHICAGO, JULY 27, 2006 -- PCTEL, Inc. (NASDAQ: PCTI), a leader in wireless
broadband solutions, announced results for the second quarter ended June 30,
2006. Financial highlights of the quarter were:

     -    $26.8 MILLION in revenue for the quarter, an INCREASE OF 46 percent
          over the same period last year. Most of the increase - $7 million -
          reflects the resolution of PCTEL's intellectual property dispute with
          Agere. Revenue from product operations was up 8 percent over the same
          period last year.

     -    $12.8 MILLION in revenue for the quarter from the Antenna Products
          Group. This is a DECREASE OF 5 percent over the second quarter last
          year. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was up 6 percent
          from the same period a year ago. Results were unfavorably impacted by
          the termination of the SDARS (satellite radio antennas for retail
          outlets) late last year, but favorably impacted by the acquisition of
          the iVET(TM) product line during the third quarter of 2005.

     -    $2.7 MILLION in revenue for the quarter from the Mobility Solutions
          Group. This is an INCREASE OF 104 percent over the second quarter last
          year. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was up 97 percent
          from the same period a year ago.

     -    $4.0 MILLION in revenue for the quarter from the RF Solutions Group.
          This is a 21 PERCENT INCREASE over the second quarter of last year.
          Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2006 is also up 21 percent
          from the same period a year ago.

     -    $7.4 MILLION in licensing revenue for the quarter, an increase of $7.1
          million from the second quarter last year. Again, this sharp increase
          includes the aforementioned patent dispute resolution.



     -    $1.3 MILLION GAIN ON RESTRUCTURING related to the closure of the
          Company's Dublin Factory and the termination of the local pension plan
          there.

     -    GAAP NET INCOME OF $6.3 MILLION FOR THE QUARTER, OR $0.29 PER DILUTED
          SHARE, compared to $(0.3) million net loss, or $(0.02) per share for
          the same period in 2005.

     -    NON-GAAP NET INCOME OF $8.4 MILLION FOR THE QUARTER, OR $0.39 PER
          DILUTED SHARE compared to $1.5 million of net income, or $0.07 per
          share for the same period in 2005. The Company's reporting of non-GAAP
          income excludes non-cash based expenses for stock compensation and
          amortization of intangible assets related to the Company's
          acquisitions. Those expenses were $2.1 million in the second quarter
          2006 compared to $1.8 million for the same period a year ago.

     -    $63.8 MILLION OF CASH at June 30, 2006.

"THE PAST QUARTER HAS BEEN ONE OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOMPLISHMENT FOR PCTEL," SAID
MARTY SINGER, PCTEL'S CHAIRMAN AND CEO. "DURING THE QUARTER, WE RESOLVED A
LONG-STANDING PATENT DISPUTE, KEPT ON SCHEDULE OUR TRANSITION TO A CONTRACT
MANUFACTURER FOR THE IVET(TM) PRODUCT LINE, ACHIEVED RECORD REVENUES FOR OUR
MOBILITY SOLUTIONS GROUP, CONTINUED TO AGGRESSIVELY GROW OUR SCANNER BUSINESS,
AND INTRODUCED SEVERAL NEW WIMAX ANTENNAS. WE ARE POISED FOR A STRONG SECOND
HALF AND A STRONGER 2007," ADDED SINGER.

(a)  These adjustments reconcile the Company's GAAP gross profit to its non-GAAP
     gross profit. The Company believes that presentation of results excluding
     non-cash share-based compensation provides meaningful supplemental
     information to both management and investors that is indicative of the
     Company's core operating results and facilitates comparison of gross profit
     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.

(b)  This adjustment reflects the non cash stock based compensation expense for
     restricted stock grants and stock bonuses awarded to the Company's
     employees. The adjustment for the three months ended June 30, 2006 also
     includes non cash stock based compensation expense for stock options in
     accordance with SFAS No. 123R.

(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.

(b)  This adjustment reflects the non cash stock based compensation expense for
     restricted stock grants and stock bonuses awarded to the Company's
     employees. The adjustment for the six months ended June 30, 2006 also
     includes non cash stock based compensation expense for stock options in
     accordance with SFAS No. 123R.
