Gogo announces first Gogo Galileo FDX STC as ALOFT AeroArchitects receives approval covering Boeing Business Jet BBJ737-series aircraft.
Complementing the advanced technology terminal, Gogo’s FlightDeck® Freedom (FDF), datalink service has also been activated to support crew operations. FDF supports trip planning, flight tracking, automated real-time weather information, geo-notifications, security events, and other critical flight path data for improved situational awareness, enhancing operational efficiencies.
“We are extremely pleased to confirm this approval. This first FDX STC marks another major milestone as we strive to deliver multi-orbit, multi-band connectivity for all types of aircraft. We’re even more proud that the customer has trusted Gogo to be its first connectivity provider and flight deck datalink service,” says
Leveraging the full potential of the Eutelsat OneWeb low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation, the FDX terminal supports global, high-speed broadband with up to 195Mbps download and 32Mbps upload speeds throughout the cabin. The Gogo Galileo FDX terminal is purpose-built for business aviation and optimised for super-midsize, long-range and executive airliner aircraft types. The terminal allows multiple passengers using multiple devices to simultaneously enjoy an at-home digital experience at altitude for improved productivity, enhanced entertainment, and increased data speeds.
“Our customer needed to equip secure, global connectivity, and as a first-time user, knew that the technology would be supported wherever they flew. The Gogo Galileo FDX terminal meets those needs, and was also, despite being our first install, straightforward to fit,” says
The second variant in the Gogo Galileo portfolio is now available to support the some 200 Boeing BBJ 737s in the global fleet that regularly fly international legs. Comprising just two line-replaceable units (LRUs), the full-duplex FDX, flat-panel, electronically steered antenna (ESA), and either an SDR Gateway or AVANCE router platform, installation is minimally invasive, resulting in reduced downtime. The software-driven architecture is future-proofed and optimized for rapid switching between satellites, as required to deliver uninterrupted broadband service. Subsequent approval from the
