Gogo’s Nationwide 5G Network Half Complete

Miles to Go Before I Tweet

Gogo Inc., the Colorado-based provider of in-flight broadband Internet and digital connectivity services for business aircraft, has announced that the construction of its 5G network is half-complete.

The milestone—marked by the activation of the company’s 75th reception/transmission site—speaks to the likelihood that Gogo, despite the growing-pains with which 5G technology has been afflicted, will meet its goal of launching the network by the end of 2022.

Gogo vice-president of network operations Mike Rupert says of the achievement: “Getting to the 50% mark for our 150-tower 5G nationwide network in a matter of months is an incredible accomplishment by our team. We have a team of network experts that has been working hard to bring the 5G network to life, building sites across the country, and that work will continue into the fall.”

Gogo has been regularly updating the market on its 5G network build progress by means of a deployment map on its website: https://business.gogoair.com/gogo-5g.

Gogo senior vice-president of customer operations Dave Glen states: “We’ve been testing our network and we’re pleased with the results we’re seeing. Gogo 5G is going to deliver on everything we’ve promised to the market.”

Gogo 5G is expected to deliver an average of approximately 25-megabytes-per-second (Mbps) with peak speeds in the 75-80 Mbps range. To address the increasing demand for data-heavy interactive services the likes of video conferencing, the network has been designed to deliver high throughput with low latency.

The multi-bearer capability and software-centric design of Gogo’s AVANCE platform allows customers to future-proof their inflight connectivity investments, and offers upgrade paths to both Gogo 5G and to Gogo’s global Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite-based network in the future.

Gogo is working with Duncan Aviation to complete the first-article Supplemental Type Certification (STC) for the onboard 5G system hardware, along with STCs that will cover more than thirty aircraft models. Additional STCs are being developed by Gogo authorized dealers and business aviation OEMs.

To date, over 2,500 commercial aircraft and 6,600 business aircraft have been equipped with Gogo’s onboard Wi-Fi services.
