CHICAGO, IL USA-Telular Corporation (NASDAQ: WRLS), a global leader in helping businesses use wireless networks for remote monitoring and tracking, today announced that president and chief executive officer Joe Beatty will be departing for personal reasons. Mr. Beatty will continue to serve as president and chief executive officer and on the board of directors until Telular's second quarter earnings announcement, currently scheduled for May 2, 2013.

"Joe has been instrumental in helping accelerate growth by improving the results of our core business, Telguard, and adding two complementary business units - SkyBitz and TankLink. On behalf of the Company, I thank Joe for his significant contributions to Telular; first as a chief financial officer starting in 2007 and since 2008 as our chief executive officer. The board of directors will be working collaboratively with Joe to make a smooth transition to Telular's next chief executive officer," commented Betsy Bernard, chairman of the board of directors of Telular.

"It has been a privilege to work at Telular for the past six years, and to spend each day with our very talented senior management team," said Mr. Beatty. "Unfortunately, I have personal family issues which now require my full attention. I am confident that our strong senior management team and experienced board of directors will continue to build on the notable progress that we have made," concluded Mr. Beatty.

Telular's board of directors will initiate a search process and retain an executive search firm to identify the next president and chief executive officer. The search process will include a full review of external and internal candidates. During the interim period, Mr. Beatty will work closely with Telular's entire management team to aid in the smooth transition to new leadership.
