Gogo Partners to offer broadband aboard commercial airlines

Friday, 20 Jun, 2012 0

Gogo, a leader in in-flight connectivity, announced a partnership with global satellite operator SES to bring high-speed, satellite-delivered Internet access to passengers on commercial airlines.

"Gogo, a pioneer in wireless in-flight digital entertainment solutions, plans to utilize high-throughput Ku-band capacity on current and future SES multi-beam satellites serving the continental United States, the Atlantic Ocean Region and Europe. SES operates a worldwide fleet of 50 geostationary satellites," according to a news release.

"By partnering with SES, Gogo aims to provide the reliable and seamless satellite coverage our current and prospective airline partners must have to meet airline passengers’ demands for high-quality, high-speed Internet access on the fly," said Gogo president and CEO Michael Small.

Gogo expects to use this technology to offer airlines connectivity services on international fleets flying transatlantic routes, as well as regional fleets flying within Europe and the United States.

Gogo is actively working with SES and other operators to expand that coverage globally, according to a release.
