CalAmp Expands International Sales for Mobile Resource Management Product Line to Southern Africa

OXNARD, CA--(Marketwire - Aug 16, 2012) - CalAmp Corp. (NASDAQ: CAMP), a leading provider of wireless products, services and solutions, announced the expansion of its international sales program in the global Mobile Resource Management (MRM) market with shipments to South Africa to begin this quarter. This announcement follows type approval for the Company's wireless MRM devices by the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA).

ICASA regulates telecommunications, broadcasting and postal services in South Africa. Among its responsibilities, the Authority issues licenses to carriers and broadcasters, certifies communications equipment and manages the effective use of radio frequency spectrum.

CalAmp's Location Messaging Unit (LMU) products provide vital Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite tracking and cellular-based wireless communications capabilities for monitoring and tracking vehicles. These products provide market-leading price and performance levels, addressing market needs in track-and-trace fleet management, usage-based insurance, trailer tracking and stolen vehicle recovery.

The ICASA-approved products are equipped with CalAmp's pioneering PEG™ (Programmable Event Generator) and PULS™ (Programming, Update and Logistics System), the Company's industry-leading on-board alert engine and over-the-air device management and maintenance application, respectively. The products also feature an integrated wireless antenna designed to deliver unrivaled performance and expand installation flexibility.

"There is a tremendous market demand for wireless MRM communications among transportation, logistics, utilities and government entities in Southern Africa and across the African continent. Achieving type approval for our devices positions CalAmp to take advantage of these opportunities and demonstrates our commitment to expanding the global reach of the Company's mission-critical solutions for wireless control of mobile and remote assets," said Greg Gower, Senior Vice President and General Manager of CalAmp's MRM business.
