CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PCTEL, Inc. (NASDAQ: PCTI - News), a leader in propagation and wireless network optimization solutions, today unveiled two new multi-band mobile antennas with integrated GPS receiver technology. The new models, based on PCTEL’s Medallion™ and Sharkfin™ multi-band antenna platforms, have been enhanced with a high sensitivity 16-channel receiver that provides immediate and accurate GPS position reporting in a single low profile housing and without the need for additional equipment.

Featuring PCTEL’s successful wideband technology, these two models eliminate the need to install separate antennas in a single vehicle in order to achieve seamless wireless data communications and GPS location capability. Both models provide instant “plug and play” GPS tracking with a digital interface, eliminating the need for GPS receiver integration in voice and data radios. Police departments nationwide could save millions of dollars by implementing GPS tracking of their vehicles and voice and data communications with a single antenna rather than two antennas and a separate GPS receiver.

“The addition of these two antenna solutions to our mobile GPS antenna platform support PCTEL’s continued goal to become the premier high-value GPS antenna supplier for commercial and defense applications,” said Jeff Miller, Vice President and General Manager of PCTEL’s Antenna Products Group. “By adding GPS capability with an integrated receiver to our multi-band antenna designs, PCTEL is able to provide customers a one stop vendor solution for their asset tracking requirements,” added Miller.

Both the Medallion™ PCTMDL-RCVR and the Sharkfin™ GPSQB-RCVR models utilize attractive, low profile radomes designed to withstand severe environmental conditions for trouble-free operation in mass transit, asset tracking, military and defense, public safety, field measurement and wireless network optimization applications. Both models will be available for worldwide distribution in November, 2009.

PCTEL will demonstrate its new GPS multi-band mobile antennas as well as its portfolio of antenna products at the ION/GNSS Expo, Booth # 523, September 23-25 in Savannah, Georgia.
