In preparation for the launch of the Gogo 5G air-to-ground connectivity service later this year, Gogo Business Aviation is conducting virtual flight simulation testing of 5G software. The tests are being done with a virtual flight simulator developed by Gogo’s radio frequency engineering team.

Using proprietary information and flight data, Gogo is able to “check performance of the radio frequency, taking into consideration factors like doppler, altitude, flight routes, angle of approach, beam-forming technology, and other parameters as Gogo optimizes the 5G service and onboard connectivity performance," the company said.
