Gogo Achieves FAA Certification for Connectivity System
Gogo (NASDAQ: GOGO) is thrilled to announce the recent achievement of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) supplemental type certification (STC) for the Gogo Galileo HDX terminal, specifically designed for the Dassault Falcon 2000 aircraft family. This significant milestone comes as a result of a collaborative effort with Dassault Falcon Jet, ensuring that this advanced technology is readily available for installation through Dassault's Authorized Service Center network.
Expanded Connectivity for Falcon 2000 Owners
This new HDX STC marks a remarkable first for the Dassault Falcon business jet, enabling owners to enjoy versatile, uninterrupted connectivity throughout their flights. By employing Eutelsat OneWeb’s low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite network, it ensures that passengers can stay connected for emailing, video conferencing, and browsing the internet, all from multiple devices simultaneously. This enhancement not only improves the in-flight experience but ensures global connectivity is both reliable and efficient.
Supporting Business with High-Speed Internet
Chris Moore, CEO of Gogo, shared enthusiasm about this advancement, noting, "We are proud to have pioneered the Gogo Galileo HDX technology for the Falcon 2000, a popular choice in the super mid-size market. Our partnership with Dassault Falcon ensures that we support owners and operators with enhanced connectivity and excellent service tailored to their needs." This technology is designed to sustain the asset value of these jets, significantly improving the passenger experience and optimizing flight operations.
Seamless Installation and Future Prospects
The installation process for the Gogo Galileo HDX terminal is straightforward, requiring only the addition of two line replaceable units (LRUs): the HDX antenna and the AVANCE platform. This simplicity in setup allows for a smoother transition and standardizes upgrades for the future, ensuring operators are well-equipped with the latest technological advancements. Additionally, Gogo and Dassault anticipate submitting an STC for the Gogo Galileo HDX for the Dassault Falcon 7X before the year's end, indicating further growth in connectivity solutions.
