EASA OKs STC for Direct Current Plane Simple Antenna
Jet Aviation installed the unit, which is available at Jet Aviation and authorized Gulfstream service centers
A Gulfstream G280 with a DC version of the Plane Simple Ka-band terminal
A Gulfstream G280 was the first to receive an EASA STC with a DC version of the Gogo Plane Simple Ka-band terminal.

Gogo, working with Gulfstream and Jet Aviation, obtained supplemental type certification (STC) from EASA for a direct current (DC) variant of its Plane Simple Ka-band tail-mount terminal aboard the Gulfstream G280. The STC marked the first regulatory approval for a Plane Simple terminal powered by a DC flow rather than alternating current.

Available in the aftermarket through authorized Gulfstream and Jet Aviation service centers, the DC variant supports Viasat Jet ConneX service, maximizing global connectivity aboard the G280 and enabling heavy digital applications such as video streaming, live TV, video calls, file transfers, gaming, and virtual private networks.
