ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 22, 2002

Relationships with Microsoft and Intel are key elements in new design

Now more than ever, retailers are demanding open platforms that allow them to leverage their investments well into the future.

In response to this need, Radiant Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: RADS) continues a long track record of innovation in the retail and hospitality industries by announcing today the launch of its new point-of-sale hardware - the Radiant P400 Series Point-of-Sale. The company's latest hardware solution adopts embedded Intel(R) technology and the Microsoft(R) Windows(R) XP family of operating systems. The P400, built on open standards and with proven Radiant usability, will be exhibited today at the nacs.tech 2002 conference in Dallas.

The speed, reliability, and return to service programs of the P400 help retailers increase revenues and reduce costs through maximizing uptime and leveraging open design standards. Because its design adheres to global standards, the P400 easily integrates with other technology systems thereby reducing service costs. An Intel Mobile Celeron(R) processor and an Intel 810 chipset provide exceptional processing power. The P400 operates on Windows XP Professional and supports Windows 2000 and other leading operating systems. Features such as passive cooling and powered serial ports for peripheral connection help reduce the chance of service interruption due to system failure. Additionally, Radiant's clients can either utilize their existing service infrastructure or support its hardware through Radiant's return to service programs that leverage strategic partnerships with UPS Logistics Group and Baxter Planning Systems to maintain an extensive global support network.

The P400 was piloted with multiple retail operators, including General Cinema Theatres. Jim Barry, Vice President of Information Technology at General Cinema Theatres, stated, "Radiant's P400 meets our needs for a highly durable and reliable solution for our concession operations. Through features such as a bright touchscreen interface, the solution presents superior ease of use and increased speed of service that benefit our employees and customers."

"The launch of the P400 will help Radiant build on its current base of a quarter of a million hardware devices installed in the retail industry," commented Carlyle Taylor, Executive Vice President of Radiant Systems. "Radiant continues to demonstrate leadership in delivering highly reliable hardware solutions that offer improved operational efficiency and profitability to retailers."

While adopting Windows XP Professional for P400, Radiant will also continue support of its Windows NT and CE-based POS platforms.
