Gogo 5G Hitting Milestones 

During the past three months, Gogo Business Aviation has been on a tear with the development of its 5G program. 

At the end of December, the company announced that it had begun deploying its 5G network, completing construction of a seven-tower 5G testbed. Additional sites will be completed at a rapid pace throughout the first half of 2022 and Gogo will launch service with 100% nationwide coverage across the contiguous United States. 

Gogo 5G is expected to deliver ~25 Mbps on average with peak speeds in the 75-80 Mbps range and has been designed to deliver high throughput with very low latency to address the increasing demand for data-heavy interactive services like video conferencing or Facetime. 

All that 5G speed deliver the following benefits:

• More users connected at the same time with little to no degradation.
• Near-zero latency so you can have real-time conversations and improved video streaming. 
• Much faster speeds for better internet service across all online activities.

Gogo's network is the only ATG network that meets the criteria to be called 5G as set by the 3GPP global standards board.

In late February, Gogo received Supplemental Type Certification (STC) and Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) from the FAA for the 5G belly-mounted antenna. Duncan Aviation is working to complete the first-article STC for the entire 5G system. Gogo's authorized dealers and OEM partners are actively pursuing multiple STCs that will certify the Gogo 5G system on more than 30 business aircraft models.
