Radiant Systems Successfully Launches Radiant 6.0 Product Line

Major operators across multiple retail markets are positioned to improve
enterprise productivity and profitability through Web-based application suites.

Company also comments on fourth quarter analyst expectations

Atlanta, GA, December 28, 2001 - Radiant Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: RADS) announced
today it had completed initial implementations of the Radiant 6.0 product line
in major retail brands spanning multiple retail industry segments. Six retail
brands have now participated in the initial implementation of the product, which
will enable better management of critical operational functions to help improve
product profitability, customer satisfaction, and employee productivity.
Radiant 6.0, the latest release of Radiant applications designed to enable
operational excellence, includes the Customer Suite, Supply Chain Suite,
Workforce Suite, and Operations Management Suite. A dozen companies, which
directly control 14,000 sites across three different vertical industries, have
already committed to use Radiant's newest generation of software, making it the
most successful product launch ever for Radiant Systems. This success, prior to
the product's general release over the next few months, demonstrates the demand
for high value software built on a pure web-architected platform, which also
provides the flexibility to create software extensions to meet industry and
client specific business requirements.

"We are pleased with the excitement generated around this product in the
marketplace," commented Erez Goren, Chief Executive Officer of Radiant Systems.
"Businesses are demanding software which can quickly drive bottom line
improvements. There is a high demand for targeted applications to improve
customer service, product profitability and employee productivity. Also, there
is equal demand to deliver these applications on a pure web-architected
platform. Radiant 6.0 meets both of these demands by providing the scalability
required by global operators as well as key functionality for enabling
operational excellence throughout the business enterprise. We look forward to
continued adoption of this innovative solution."

The Company also said it is comfortable it will meet or exceed the range of
analyst revenue and earnings forecasts for the quarter ended December 31, 2001,
before consideration of non-recurring charges. Analyst estimates currently range
from $32-33 million in revenues and from a loss of $.01 to $.00 in earnings per
share.



Mr. John Heyman, the Company's Chief Financial Officer commented, "Revenues will
increase from the quarter ended September 30, 2001, though we are still seeing
certain clients approach capital spending with caution. The actions we have
taken earlier this quarter to reduce our costs will improve our financial
performance before consideration of non-recurring charges. We are hopeful these
actions will result in profitability for the current quarter and are pleased
with where the business stands, given the tough economic environment. During our
conference call to discuss actual results for the quarter ended December 31,
2001, we plan on providing guidance to the investment community as to our
financial forecasts for 2002. Currently, we believe our product development
efforts, new contract negotiations, client roll out plans and the cost reduction
activities we have completed should translate into growth and profitability in
2002, though we remain cautious as to the impact the economy may have on our
business and that of our clients."
