CHICAGO - Gogo's 2Ku has exceeded speeds of 100 Mbps. Theperformance was achieved on Gogo's test aircraft, the Jimmy Ray, using Gogo's proprietary 2Ku antenna, Gogo's new next generation modem and a high-throughput satellite. 2Ku's open architecture allows Gogo to take advantage of satellite innovations over time. Gogo has continued to improve its aircraft hardware servers, modems, antenna, and wireless access points.
Gogo's new modem upgrades the performance of both its 2Ku and Ku global satellite services. The proprietary features of the new modem significantly increase throughput and reliability to and from the aircraft. The modem also will support access to streaming video through the internet and live television programming through Gogo's IPTV product, Gogo TV.
There are now more than 100 2Ku aircraft flying with Gogo's first-generation modem utilizing existing wide-beam satellite technologies. Gogo plans to deliver the new technology upgrade to its airline partners without needing to take an aircraft out of service.
The new modem will be installed beginning in the second half of 2017. Eventually, it will be installed on more than 1500 2Ku and 250 Ku aircraft across 13 airlines.
