Gogo Business Aviation Plans for Faster Future
The airborne connectivity company is preparing to build its networks to handle higher connection speeds.
It is not uncommon for people to have (and use) more 
than one mobile device at a time, and Gogo Biz aims to keep up with customers’ insatiable appetite for data.

Having announced its new 4G airborne connectivity service for the business aviation market last month, Gogo Business Aviation revealed to AIN the company’s technology roadmap for the next five years. The 4G service, which will be available for business aviation in early 2017, brings Gogo Biz air-to-ground service from the existing 3G speed (up to 3.1 megabits per second or Mbps) to 4G (nearly 10 Mbps). But Gogo is looking far beyond that technology. The roadmap, said John Wade, executive v-p and general manager, “is a clear line of sight of how to get to 100 Mbps for air-to-ground and satcom.”
