ELITE WINGS

Since the sale of its commercial aviation connectivity division to Intelsat in 2020, Gogo has focused on building the world’s first 5G network exclusively dedicated to business aviation usage, which it completed in 2022. The Gogo 5G solution will adopt the same 5G technology that is currently being deployed by other ground operators. The ability to augment 5G with their existing licensed spectrum network, gives Gogo a distinct competitive advantage. The network will rely on the unlicensed spectrum at 2.4GHz and its licensed spectrum at 850MHz. The Gogo 5G network will benefit from a large number of technologies developed by a network of carefully selected strategic partners. Core 5G ATG network components will be provided by connectivity solutions leader Cisco. Airspan will provide its carrier-grade Radio Access Network (RAN), Air5G OpenRange. This advanced beamforming and tracking technology is a key enabler to connect high-speed jets to the ground network without performance degradation.
