Today at EBACE in Geneva Gogo Business Aviation announced its Gogo Galileo product line with the unveiling of a second electronically steered antenna (ESA) form factor for use on its Low Earth Orbit (LEO) broadband solution.
Gogo Galileo now offers two fuselage-mount antennas – the previously announced “HDX” antenna, designed with a small form factor to fit on any size business aircraft, and today’s announcement of the “FDX” antenna which is designed to fit on larger aircraft and will deliver best-in-class performance.
“With the introduction of the FDX antenna, our AVANCE platform now offers a complete portfolio of North American air-to-ground (ATG) and global LEO products to meet the unique needs of each segment of the business aviation market,” said Sergio Aguirre, Gogo’s president and chief operating officer. “We have solutions to fit any aircraft size, flying any mission, whether the owner is focused on value, high performance, or redundancy, all coupled with our award-winning customer support.”
Gogo designed and engineered both antennas in close collaboration with Hughes Network Systems and Hughes will be the manufacturer. More details are included in the attached release.
Gogo announced the new antenna and the new name for the service at an event we hosted at EBACE today in Geneva alongside OneWeb and Hughes. We unveiled a 3D mockup of the antenna along with the Gogo Galileo name.
