Technology

   Through a unique partnership with cellular providers, Gogo® began as Aircell in 1991, providing analog-based voice communications on private aircraft in North America. By the late ‘90s, we had successfully leveraged a satellite-based system to offer voice communication on overseas flights. Our next step was to devise a way to bring the power of in-air connectivity to the masses, thereby keeping travelers fully connected to life.

In 2006, we were awarded the FCC’s exclusive Air-To-Ground (ATG) 3Mhz broadband frequency license, which allowed us to build an uninterrupted network across the continental U.S. We completed our network in 2008, and revolutionized commercial air travel when we unveiled our Gogo Internet service on commercial flights.

In addition to Gogo’s existing ATG technology, the company will enhance current technologies via a next-generation version of ATG called “ATG-4” as well as Ka-band satellite technology when it becomes available. To date, Gogo has equipped more than 2,000 commercial aircraft and more than 6,500 business jets with our exclusive online services. Our technology options give us the unique flexibility to offer attractive solutions for every airline, aircraft, and mission. Below is a list of our current and future technologies and how they fit into our technology roadmap:
•Air-to-Ground (ATG): With a proven track record of performance, reliability, and scalability, Gogo’s ATG-based service will continue to provide a rich user experience for connected travelers by featuring 3G wireless utilizing EV-DO Rev. A.
•ATG-4: Gogo’s ATG-4 service will significantly enhance the existing ATG network and improve per aircraft capacity by approximately four times current performance through the addition of Directional Antenna, Dual Modem, and EV-DO Rev. B technologies. ATG-4 is scheduled for commercial delivery in 2012. This new platform is backwards compatible and allows for upgrades to existing ATG systems through low cost retrofits.
•Ka-band satellite/Global Coverage: Gogo was named a service provider for Inmarsat’s Global Xpress™ satellite service in November, 2011. Inmarsat has also selected Gogo’s business aviation subsidiary, Aircell, as a distribution partner for the business and government aviation markets.
•Working with Inmarsat, Gogo will begin in-flight testing of the Global Xpress aeronautical services after the launch of the first Inmarsat-5 satellite, which is scheduled for mid-2013. Gogo plans to offer Ka-satellite service in the 1st quarter of 2015. Inmarsat’s Global Xpress service will allow Gogo to utilize the first global Ka-band solution, which is expected to bring significantly improved performance to the global aero market in terms of coverage, capacity and cost.
•Ground to Orbit (GTO): Gogo's newest service is a proprietary hybrid technology that combines the best aspects of existing satellite technologies with Gogo's Air to Ground network. This technology uses satellite for recieve only and Gogo's Air to Ground network for the return link to the ground. Gogo GTO offers peak speeds of 60 Mbps or more to aircraft flying throughout North America and will be avaliable in 2014.

Business Aviation Technologies: For the business aviation market, Aircell, a Gogo company, currently offers three different in-flight technologies, including Iridium Satellite, Inmarsat SwiftBroadband (satellite), and Gogo Biz™ (ATG). We will soon announce our plans for ATG-4 and Ka-band satellite for our business aviation customers.

History

 

 

Formerly known as Aircell, Gogo® has quickly become the world’s leading provider of inflight connectivity, and has revolutionized travel with our unique brand of exclusive in-air experiences. It all began in 1991 at a barbecue joint in Denison, Texas, where company founder Jimmy Ray sketched onto a paper napkin his visionary idea for a telephone system on aircraft. As a result of this eureka moment, Gogo became the only company authorized by the FCC and FAA to use cellular frequencies for in-flight communication.

Since then, we’ve set a new standard for innovation. Our exclusive FCC frequency license, awarded in 2006, brought with it daunting challenges of design, patent, and deployment. Yet in less than two years’ time, we captured the world’s attention with the power of our proprietary Air-To-Ground broadband network – one tailor-made for in-air connectivity.

In 2008, Gogo made its stunning debut on a commercial aircraft, bringing robust Internet access to the skies and transforming the commercial air experience for modern travelers. Coast to coast, border to border, Gogo delivered broadband coverage to a place it had never been: 30,000 feet above the earth’s surface.

   
In Air. Online.  

 

Gogo® is fast becoming everyone’s favorite part of flying. By allowing travelers to get online, in air, Gogo keeps them connected to life. Using Gogo’s exclusive network and services, passengers with laptops and other Wi-Fi enabled devices can get online on all domestic AirTran Airways and Virgin America flights and on select Air Canada, Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Frontier Airlines, United Airlines and US Airways flights – as well as on thousands of business aircraft – bringing the total to more than 6,000 Gogo equipped aircraft to date.

Back on the ground, Gogo’s 400+ employees in Itasca, IL and Broomfield, CO are working to continually redefine flying as a productive, socially connected, and all-around more satisfying experience.
