Why Gogo for Business Aviation?
Designed for the Way You Fly
Unlike repurposed airline solutions, Gogo Business Aviation hardware is engineered specifically for the cabin volumes, altitude profiles, and mission ranges of business jets and turboprops.
Its hybrid Air-to-Ground (ATG) network and emerging Ka-band / LEO satellite broadband keep latency low and bandwidth high—so passengers can stream, crews can file flight plans, and executives can join video conferences without a hiccup.
Uninterrupted Connectivity in the Sky
Nationwide ATG coverage delivers consistent performance at 30,000 ft.
The upcoming Gogo 5G Network, accessed via AVANCE LX5, will provide peak speeds up to 80 Mbps across the contiguous U.S. and parts of Canada.
Gogo Galileo low-earth-orbit service extends broadband to every oceanic route and remote airport on the planet.
The Gogo AVANCE Platform
AVANCE L5 — High-Speed ATG Performance
Ideal for midsize and large-cabin airframes, AVANCE L5 leverages Gogo’s 4G ATG network for streaming video, secure VPN, and real-time weather in one single-box LRU with dual belly-mounted antennas.
AVANCE L3 — Smart, Scalable Connectivity
For light jets and turboprops, AVANCE L3 offers different service levels—Plus & Max—letting operators dial bandwidth to mission needs while maintaining an easy upgrade path.
AVANCE LX5 — The Future of Gogo 5G
AVANCE LX5 is the next-gen solution that unlocks the full Gogo 5G Network: up to 80 Mbps, sub-100 ms latency, and seamless over-the-air (OTA) updates that future-proof your cabin IFEC experience.
Gogo Galileo — Global Broadband, Simplified
Pair LX5 or L5 with Gogo Galileo for high-speed LEO coverage on trans-Atlantic and trans-Pacific legs. Two thin electronic-steerable antenna sizes fit nearly any business jet—no radome change required.
Not Ready for Full AVANCE? Gogo C1 Keeps You Connected
If you’re not ready to commit to a full AVANCE system, Gogo C1 is a smart and efficient alternative. Designed as a transitional solution, C1 retains most of your legacy hardware while delivering the connectivity you need until you’re ready for the full AVANCE migration.
Meet Gogo C1 — The Smart Interim Upgrade
If you’re not ready to commit to a full AVANCE system just yet, Gogo C1 delivers a streamlined, cost-effective path to keep your aircraft connected through the ATG sunset.
It fits directly into your existing infrastructure, retaining most legacy hardware while preserving inflight Wi‑Fi.
Ideal for operators needing continuity today, without the upfront overhaul of a full AVANCE retrofit.
Available across ~70% of the legacy fleet—covering models from Cessna and Gulfstream to Falcon and Learjet
Inflight Connectivity Benefits That Matter
Stay Productive and Entertained
Whether it’s a Hawker 800XP commuting from Teterboro to Van Nuys or a Global 6000 hopping continents, passengers enjoy crystal-clear streaming, secure cloud access for remote work, and real-time messaging. Crews receive live NOTAMs and can update EFB charts mid-flight.
Simplified Plans & Fleet Scalability
Gogo’s unlimited ATG plans and predictable satellite packages make CFOs happy, while centralized fleet portals push software updates and usage analytics across multiple tails in minutes.
Certified Installation by Sky Aircraft Maintenance
FAA-Certified Technicians and Avionics Experts
Our installers are factory-trained on the Gogo AVANCE Platform, antenna rigging, and cabin router configuration. Every project follows an approved Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) path and culminates in FAA Form 337 sign-off, ensuring airworthiness and warranty compliance.
Private and Business Aircraft Integration
We have completed AVANCE retrofits on King Air, Citations, and Beechjet/Hawker alike—coordinating downtime with maintenance cycles to minimize schedule impact. Post-install, you receive flight-validated performance data and 24/7 support.
Which Gogo system is right for my aircraft?
Cabin size, typical stage length, and passenger count drive the recommendation. Light jets often select AVANCE L3, midsize and large cabins favor L5 today, while new deliveries and upgrade-minded operators are choosing LX5 for 5G readiness. GoGo has a questionnaire here that is helpful to determine.
Can I upgrade to 5G without replacing my entire system?
Yes. Aircraft already flying AVANCE L5 can transition to LX5 through a straightforward LRU swap and antenna refresh, preserving existing wiring and service plans.
What is the installation timeline and downtime?
Most single-system installs require 7–10 working days, including antenna mounting, cabin router integration, and flight-test validation. Larger completions with interior removals may extend to 15 days.
Is Gogo connectivity available internationally?
Domestic ATG covers the U.S. and parts of Canada. For global operations, adding Gogo Galileo LEO satellite hardware provides worldwide high-speed service.
