Certificate Allows Installation Of Aircell Gogo Biz Inflight
Internet Service
An STC has been granted to JetCorp Technical Services for the
Aircell Cabin Telecommunications Router (CTR) aboard a Bombardier
Challenger 300 business jet. Installation and certification
of the Aircell CTR provides in-cabin Wi-Fi capability for the Gogo
Biz Inflight Internet service. Aircell’s Gogo Biz service
allows passengers to use their BlackBerry, iPhone and other Wi-Fi
enabled devices to surf the Internet, retrieve and answer email
with attachments, and access their corporate VPN. While in flight,
passengers can enjoy connectivity speeds equivalent to ground-based
hotspots.

Based in St. Louis, MO, at Spirit of St. Louis Airport (KSUS),
JetCorp boasts full maintenance, avionics and interior
capabilities. Director of Sales Kevin Kliethermes reports that the
company has seen “a tremendous increase in requests for
high-speed Wi-Fi connectivity from clients.”
Since late 2010, the avionics installation team at JetCorp has
completed over 35 Wi-Fi installations in multiple aircraft types,
including the Challenger 604, Challenger 605, Challenger 300 and
Learjet 60. Through careful planning and proper staging, JetCorp
has managed to significantly cut the downtime required for the
Wi-Fi installation on the Challenger 300 to just four days. This
downtime requirement is based upon utilizing standard installation
parameters for both equipment and locations.
