CANNES, France, Feb 14, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- PCTEL, Inc. (NASDAQ:PCTI), a global leader in simplifying mobility, announced today the introduction of a Tri-Band CLARIFY(TM) solution that supports both WCDMA and GSM. PCTEL will demonstrate the CLARIFY WCDMA/GSM solution at the 3GSM World Congress in Cannes, France, February 14-17 (Booth E25 in Hall 2).

With its high dynamic range and ability to identify and locate interference sources, CLARIFY sets the industry standard for interference management in cellular networks. Dual mode capability will enable operators to manage WCDMA/GSM networks and optimize performance without additional infrastructure investment. CLARIFY simplifies technically difficult network problems without requiring network interruption, off-hours driving, the use of CW transmitters or employing other expensive methods. It is essential to cell and frequency planning.

"We are pleased to be able to respond to the many customer requests for CLARIFY WCDMA by announcing the addition of WCDMA to our successful CLARIFY product line," says Larry Swift, General Manager of PCTEL's RF Solutions Group. "This new solution will be invaluable to operators as they plan and launch their WCDMA networks and manage complex RF issues like co-siting, interference and inter-network handoff."

The CLARIFY product line includes a collection and analysis system that can export critical data to industry tools used in propagation management, frequency and cell planning applications. The product is available globally.
