OXNARD, CA--(Marketwire - Nov 16, 2011) - CalAmp Corp. (NASDAQ: CAMP), a leading provider of wireless products, services and solutions, announced today that it was awarded a $4.7 million extension of its development contract to help design and supply initial radios for the North American interoperable Positive Train Control (PTC) system.
