Gogo Business Aviation is adding ground-based 5G connectivity.

Duncan Aviation’s Engineering & Certifications Service Team has completed the first-article supplemental type certificate (STC) for installation of Gogo Business Aviation’s 5G LX5 system on a Cessna Citation Excel. The LX5 also received FAA parts manufacturer approval.

Gogo said its 5G network will be ready for launch in the third quarter of 2024, pending availability of 5G chips. Once the chips become available, the LX5 LRU can be updated via a minor STC modification so customer installations can take place, according to Gogo. The air-to-ground 5G service will provide average speeds of 25 Mbps and peak speeds from 75 to 80 Mbps.
