Arrakis Systems is the #1 manufacturer of satellite automation systems for Radio. Thousands of our Digilink I,II,III,IV family of hard disk automation systems have been sold around the world since first introduced in 1990.

In 2004, Arrakis introduced Digilink-Xtreme. Xtreme is a unique blend of off the shelf Windows PC computer and Arrakis 'Bridge' hardware, creating the most powerful and yet reliable automation system in Radio.
