Gogo Vision Offers On-demand Movies, TV Episodes, News, Flight Updates And Destination Weather
Aircell, a leading provider of in-flight connectivity equipment and services to the business aviation market, announces Gogo Vision, an on-demand in-flight entertainment (IFE) and information service for the business aviation market.
The first service of its kind in business aviation, Gogo Vision offers a complete, always-rotating library of the latest movies and TV episodes along with news, flight progress information and destination weather. Rather than being a "bring your own" approach, Gogo Vision content is stored in an on-board server and streamed directly to personal electronic devices such as tablets and laptops. The library of content aboard the aircraft can be refreshed as often as the aircraft owner chooses.
Because Aircell has distribution and licensing agreements directly with the biggest names in global entertainment, including NBC Universal, Warner Brothers, Twentieth Century Fox and Magnolia Pictures, Gogo Vision offers many of the most popular titles.
John Wade, Aircell's Executive Vice President and General Manager, said, "Gogo Vision puts a broad, constantly-rotating library of the hottest Hollywood movies and TV episodes at passengers' fingertips." Wade continued, "With the option of fully automatic updates, Gogo Vision requires almost no effort from the flight department, no more trips to the video store, no more guessing what passengers might want to watch and no more manual downloading."
Aircell's new UCS 5000 is business aviation's first all-in-one smart router and media server that uses fully-certified, DO-160-compliant aviation componentry. Gogo Vision is currently expected be available starting in January 2014.
