March 27, 2003

ATLANTA -- Kiosk provider Radiant Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: RADS - News) says that Sheetz, Inc. has deployed one of its Radiant outdoor kiosks, along with Radiant software, at a petroleum/convenience store as part of an initiative called Order at the Pole.

According to a news release, Order at the Pole allows customers to design made-to-order sandwiches while fueling their vehicles, through kiosks that are mounted on poles near the fuel pumps.

The kiosk has been live at the site for more than six months, according to the release.

John Heyman, co-chief executive officer of Radiant, said in the release that the outdoor kiosk "adds enormous value by providing more flexibility to locate self-service where it brings the greatest benefits to customers and to the business."

The outdoor kiosk's features include: an enclosure that provides a sealed unit with heating and cooling mechanics inside; an Intel-based hardware platform that will support future application development and third-party software; an Underwriters Laboratories (UL)-approved design; and the capability to be Internet-enabled.
