OXNARD, CA--(Marketwire - Jun 8, 2012) - CalAmp Corp. (NASDAQ: CAMP), a leading provider of wireless products, services and solutions, announced today that revenue for its fiscal 2013 first quarter ended May 31, 2012 is expected to be in the range of $43.5 to $44 million, above the previously issued revenue guidance range of $38 to $41 million.

These first quarter revenue and EPS estimates are preliminary and are subject to completion of the Company's normal quarterly closing process and the independent auditor's quarterly review procedures.
