Long-Awaited 5G Rollout Is But Months Away
Gogo Business Aviation, a standby of the bizjet connectivity industry, brought their newest AVANCE L5 and 5G systems to NBAA 2021, boasting high reliability, high speed, and wide-ranging service coverage. Dave Mellin, Director of Corporate Communications, takes a moment to share with Aero-News Network's Editor-in-Chief, Jim Campbell, what’s in store for Gogo.
One interesting trend Gogo has seen post-pandemic is the burgeoning market for connectivity in smaller, personal general aviation aircraft. Gogo’s AVANCE L3 is now a line production item on G2+ Vision jets, and available for any operator looking to offer passengers top of the line internet access in-flight.
JetEdge has signed on to be the launch customer of Gogo’s upcoming 5G network systems, upgrading their current AVANCE L5 equipment to compatibility. The modular, easily updated systems, will allow for quick installation of 5G network access with minimal downtime. Mellin says rollout is imminent, and Gogo has been building their network with an eye towards an operational launch by the second half of 2022.
