Sierra Automated Systems
Radio is the “core business” of Sierra Automated Systems. Since 1988, radio broadcasters have relied upon Sierra Automated Systems for mission-critical routing. And now, SAS radio broadcast control surfaces set the standard and are used to drive many of the country’s leading radio facilities.

Sierra Automated Systems spent hundreds of hours meeting with clients—networks, major market and smaller stations, traffic and news providers—to engineer the digital future.
The result was Rubicon which established SAS as the industry's most user-friendly yet powerful integrated system of console surfaces, routing, intercom, and control.
