HUNT VALLEY, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 7, 2009-- TESSCO Technologies Incorporated (Nasdaq:TESS), a value-added provider of the product and supply chain solutions needed to design, build, run, maintain and use wireless systems, was recently honored at the 2009 MCM Awards during the 26^th Annual Conference for Catalog and Multichannel Merchants (ACCM). Co-hosted by the Direct Marketing Association (DMA) and Multichannel Merchant, ACCM is the world’s largest and most comprehensive conference for multichannel marketing professionals who use catalogs, transactional Web sites, and retail stores to reach their customers.

The prestigious MCM Awards are the top annual honors for business-to-business and business-to-consumer multichannel marketers who have been recognized for superior print catalogs and Web sites from around the globe. TESSCO won the Silver Award in the Print Cataloging (Business Specialty Products) Category for its submission of The Wireless Guide^® – the wireless industry’s must-have 1,700-page resource featuring 25,000 products, services and solutions for building, operating and using wireless systems.

According to the cataloging experts that perform the rigorous and in-depth review to determine which submissions meet the series of established critical benchmarks, all award-winning catalogs and Web sites represent a mastery of merchandising, creativity, compelling copy, innovation, and marketing execution.

TESSCO Chairman, President and CEO Robert B. Barnhill commented, “TESSCO’s reputation and value is as much about the education of the wireless industry as it is about our ability to offer the industry’s leading choice of products and supply chain solutions needed to make wireless work. The Wireless Guide was created 27 years ago as a helpful resource for comparing and buying wireless products, and has since evolved into a knowledge source for customers who want to learn, compare and select everything needed for building, operating, and using wireless systems. The Guide showcases the most comprehensive comparison of products from the industry’s most respected list of manufacturers. This important recognition of The Wireless Guide further validates its value to both customers and manufacturers, and our industry position as Your Total Source for everything wireless.”

Coinciding with this award is TESSCO’s launch of The Wireless Guide Online – the newest Knowledge Tool offering for TESSCO’s diverse customer base. The well-known Wireless Guide is the industry’s premier tool for wireless professionals, and now for the first time, customers can have this buying experience in an online format – virtually and easily browsing through what would ordinarily be 1,700 print pages of industry-leading products, services and solutions. Offering frequently updated product selections and categories, as well as the most current and custom pricing, this eco-friendly resource also features robust, interactive search capabilities and application illustrations to help build solutions in real time, across 27 product categories that cover the entire wireless spectrum.
