Selected for NetJets aircraft in the United States, Gogo 5G and LEO satcom services are designed to deliver high performance with ultra-low latency to address the growing demand for data-intensive services and applications used in today's day, as well as emerging technologies in the future. Gogo 5G, scheduled to launch in Q3 2024, is expected to offer ~25 Mbps on average with peak speeds in the range of 75-80 Mbps. And Gogo's LEO service will be several times faster than current geosynchronous (GEO) satellites; This global service is expected to launch in the second half of 2024.
For NetJets aircraft in Europe, Gogo Galileo offers two fuselage-mount antennas: HDX, which is designed with a small form factor that can be installed on any size business aircraft, including superlight aircraft and large turboprops, and FDX, which is designed to fit larger aircraft and will offer best-in-class performance.
The AVANCE platform, powered by Gogo Galileo, has been intentionally designed to provide easy upgrade paths to new technologies and networks. In the case of Gogo Galileo, any aircraft with an AVANCE product installed (L3, L5 or SCS), will only have to add the HDX or FDX antenna to the fuselage to access the benefits of LEO satellite network technology.
