Radiant Systems Named One of Georgia's Fastest Growing Technology Companies in Deloitte's Technology Fast 50 Program

Five-year revenue growth of more than 40 percent places company among state's elite technology firms

ATLANTA (October  23, 2006) – Radiant Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: RADS) has been named to this year’s Georgia Technology Fast 50, an annual ranking of the fastest-growing technology companies in the state by Deloitte & Touche LLP, one of the nation’s leading professional services organizations.  Based on percentage revenue growth over the five years beginning in 2001, this year’s awards were presented at a ceremony held October 12 in Atlanta.

“Radiant is proud of this recognition and we continue to make investments that provide value to our customers and fuel the long-term growth of our company,” said John Heyman, chief executive officer of Radiant Systems, Inc.  “Our success over the years has been driven by an incredible group of employees and channel partners around the world who are dedicated and committed to even higher performance in the years ahead.”

“Sustaining high revenue growth over five years is an exceptional accomplishment,” said Andrew Harrs, Deloitte’s Southeast regional managing partner for the Deloitte Technology, Media and Telecommunications Industry Practice.  “We commend Radiant Systems for making the commitment to technology and delivering on the promise of market longevity.  We are proud to honor Radiant Systems as a Deloitte Technology Fast 50 winner.”

Radiant System’s increase in revenues of 41 percent from 2001 to 2005 resulted in a 41 ranking in the Technology Fast 50 for Georgia.  The Georgia Technology Fast 50 program is presented by Deloitte and sponsored by Kilpatrick Stockton LLP, NASDAQ and Technology Association of Georgia, in association with media sponsor PR Newswire.

To qualify for the Technology Fast 50, companies must have had operating revenues of at least $50,000 in 2001 and $5,000,000 in 2005, be headquartered in North America, and be a company that owns proprietary technology or proprietary intellectual property that contributes to a significant portion of the company’s operating revenues or devotes a significant proportion of revenues to the research and development of technology.  Using other companies’ technology or intellectual property in a unique way does not qualify.

Winners of the 16 regional Technology Fast 50 programs in the United States and Canada are automatically entered in Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500 program, which ranks North America’s top 500 fastest-growing technology, media, telecommunications and life sciences companies.  For more information on Deloitte’s Technology Fast 50 or Technology Fast 500 programs, visit www.fast500.com.
