Gogo Galileo HDX Antenna Successfully Completes Qualification Testing

Passes FAA DO-160 Requirements, On Track For STC

Gogo Business Aviation announced that its Galileo HDX electronically steerable antenna has successfully passed the FAA-mandated DO-160 qualification testing.

DO-160 testing is done to validate that the HDX antenna can withstand the harsh conditions of flight and is safe for use. Such conditions encountered in flight include intense vibration, extreme temperature fluctuations, radio wave penetration, lightning strikes, moisture penetration, and more.

Jeremy Tyler, vice president of airborne product engineering for Gogo said, “Passing DO-160 keeps us on track to receive the first-article Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) and commercially launch Gogo Galileo later this yearl.”

The HDX was developed by Gogo in partnership with Hughes Network Systems, and will be followed in the second quarter of 2025 by the Gogo Galileo FDX, a similar antenna designed for larger aircraft. The HDX is capable of peak speeds of 60 Mbps and the FDX will attain speeds of up to 200 Mbps.

Gogo says its dealerships are receiving unprecedented demand for the Galileo HDX and have contracted to complete 27 STCs that cover a market of more than 18,000 aircraft worldwide. The Galileo system connects to the Eutelsat OneWeb constellation of low-Earth-orbit satellites.

The Galileo HDX is designed as a faster and lower-cost upgrade to any of the AVANCE systems already installed such as the L3, L5, LX5, or SCS.
