Gogo<\/b> Business Aviation is launching a Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) broadband service for business aviation using the OneWeb network and an antenna designed by Hughes Network Systems<\/b>. The company said in a Monday announcement this is the first LEO service for business aviation. <\/p>\n
It uses the Hughes electronically steerable antenna (ESA) the company debuted earlier this year for fixed and mobile connectivity. The LEO service will include a fuselage-mounted unit with an integrated antenna, modem, power supply and RF converter. Gogo said that existing customers of its Avance service will only have to install the antenna. <\/p>\n
The service will allow Avance L3 and L5 customers in North America to combine capacity from OneWeb\u2019s LEO satellite network with Gogo\u2019s air-to-ground (ATG) network.<\/p>\n
Gogo said the antenna assembly is small enough for business aircraft from super light jets and large turboprops to ultra long-range jets. Gogo serves the business aviation market, after Intelsat purchased its Commercial Aviation segment in 2020. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve designed the system to reduce costs by simplifying the installation,\u201d said Sergio Aguirre, Gogo Business Aviation\u2019s president and COO. \u201cWe have long delivered affordable, high-quality connectivity to aircraft owners in North America, and now we want to bring those same benefits to all aircraft owners in the rest of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gogo said the LEO service will offer low-latency connectivity that will allow for data-heavy streaming like video conferencing, live TV, and streaming TikTok. <\/p>\n
The service will be available soon after the OneWeb network is fully launched and commercially available.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur agreement with Gogo Business Aviation represents a leap forward for business aviation connectivity,\u201d said Ben Griffin, vice president of Mobility at OneWeb. \u201cBy harnessing the power of our LEO constellation to deliver robust, consistent, and reliable global coverage, OneWeb and Gogo will be able to offer an unmatched experience to business jet operators and passengers worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
