Comarco, Inc. (Nasdaq: CMRO) announced today that it has signed a definitive agreement for the sale of its wireless test solutions (WTS) business to Ascom Holding AG (SWX: ASCN), an international solution provider with comprehensive technological know-how in mission-critical communication. Under the terms of the transaction, Comarco will receive approximately $12.75 million in cash, with a portion of the cash purchase proceeds to be placed in escrow. The closing of the proposed transaction, which is subject to various closing conditions, including approval of the sale by Comarco's shareholders and other conditions, is anticipated to occur in the fourth quarter of Comarco's current fiscal year.

"The sale of WTS represents another very important step in Comarco's strategy to focus our resources on expanding our promising ChargeSource(R) business," said Sam Inman, president and chief executive officer of Comarco. "In addition, the divestiture should allow us to dramatically reduce our operating costs. We have worked closely with Ascom since late 2006 on the development and marketing of our recently introduced Symphony Quality of Service (QoS) benchmarking product for cellular networks. This transaction is a natural extension of our close relationship."

Founded in 1985, Comarco's WTS business has been a leading provider of wireless network testing products that enable operators to optimize quality of service while minimizing capital investments. Comarco's solutions have been deployed at virtually every Tier One mobile service provider. Key customers include Verizon, AT&T and Rogers Canada, as well as customers in Asia and an extensive installed base throughout Latin America.

In late 2006, Ascom Mobile Test Solutions (MTS) and Comarco's WTS established a global alliance to develop the next-generation QoS benchmarking product, called Symphony. The product was completed and marketing began in late 2007. With the exchange and integration of technologies through this effort, the two companies view the acquisition as the next logical step in their market and product development plans. Comarco's experience in multiple technology environments, including CDMA systems technology, coupled with its deep in house radio frequency expertise, scanning hardware and extensive knowledge of the U.S. market compliments Ascom's expertise in the European domain.

"This acquisition will significantly strengthen Ascom's position in the global market for mobile QoS and stationary network testing," said Dr. Fritz Gantert, General Manager, Security Solutions for Ascom. "We will be able to leverage the success of the growing Symphony product line, placing engineering and support resources closer to our customers, while offering an extended range of products tailored to the needs of individual markets."
