    GoGo Global Broadband Service

    Gogo Business Aviation today announced it will launch the first global broadband service in business aviation to use an electronically steered antenna (ESA) on a low earth orbit (LEO) satellite network.

    Gogo’s exclusive antenna assembly, designed in conjunction with Hughes Network Systems, LLC (Hughes), will be small enough for installation on the fuselage of business aircraft from super light jets and large turboprops to ultralong-range jets, and will operate on OneWeb’s high-speed, low-latency broadband global network.

    To access the network, the new service will require just one Gogo AVANCE LRU inside the aircraft, which means existing AVANCE customers will only have to install the ESA antenna, with a single cable for power in, and a single cable for data out.

    More options are always better. I'm sure Starlink is not too far behind being able to release a mobile platform in the next few years as well. Then maybe pricing will finally be reasonable.

    I just learned that GoGo 5G will be delayed to mid-2024 (originally planned to launch in Q4 2022). That is about when Gogo Galileo (their OneWeb LEO solution is planned to become operational. Will be interesting to see the pricing differences between them.

    I have not heard any updates on Starlink STC for Phenom.
