# Introduction

Vertistation is a hardware device that enables data exchange between aircraft and ground infrastructure.

There are currently two versions of Vertistation: [Vertistation v1](https://vertistation.aviowiki.com/vertistation-v1) and [Vertistation v2](https://vertistation.aviowiki.com/vertistation-v2).

In both configurations, the physical characteristics of the container box, the electric, and data interface are the same.
