You have the flexibility to choose between managed modem or virtual RF functionality using the Azure Orbital Ground Station service. These operational modes are specified on a per channel basis in the contact profile. See [ground station contact profile](concepts-contact-profile.md) to learn more about channels and links.

## Managed modems vs virtual RF delivery

We recommend taking advantage of Orbital Ground Station's managed modem functionality if possible. The modem is managed by the service and is inserted between your endpoint and the incoming or outgoing virtual RF stream for each pass. You can specify the modem setup using a modem configuration file or apply one of the in-built named modem configurations for commonly used public satellites such as Aqua.

Use virtual RF delivery if you wish to have tighter control on the modem setup or bring your own modem to the resource group. Orbital Ground Station will connect to your channel endpoint specified in the contact profile.
