Gogo Business Aviation is a provider of in-flight broadband Internet service and other connectivity services for business aircraft.

Gogo Business Aviation (Booth 4040,&nbsp;Static AD_207)&nbsp;has completed the construction of its nationwide 5G air-to-ground connectivity network, the company announced Monday at NBAA-BACE 2022.&nbsp;The company’s 5G network now covers the 48 contiguous U.S. states and will begin expanding into Canada next year, according to Gogo. It is expected to launch the service in the U.S. by year-end.&nbsp;

 


“Our team was tenacious and overcame a host of issues including Covid-19, weather, the supply chain, and geopolitical concerns, to build a new network of 150 towers nationwide—and they did it in less than 12 months,” said Gogo president and COO Sergio Aguirre. “It’s remarkable what our network deployment and field operations teams have accomplished.”

 


Gogo’s Avance platform allows customers to “future-proof” their in-flight connectivity systems, providing&nbsp;easy upgrade paths to the provider’s 5G network, as well as its future global low-Earth orbit satellite-based product. When it&nbsp;becomes available, Gogo said the service is expected to deliver download speeds of about 25 Mbps on average, with peak speeds of up to 80 Mbps.&nbsp;

 


In the meantime, Gogo customers wishing to upgrade to the 5G network can install Gogo’s Avance L5 system with full 5G provisions, including the belly-mounted MB13 5G antennas, and operate with 4G service until the X3 line replaceable unit becomes available.

New developments and products in avionics, specifically about aircraft electronics in the cockpit.
