CHICAGO, July 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Gogo (NASDAQ:
GOGO), the leading global provider of broadband connectivity
products and services for aviation, announced today that its next
generation modem has been introduced into commercial airline
service.
The proprietary features of the new modem will significantly
increase throughput from the satellite to end users on the
aircraft. The modem is capable of delivering more than 16x the
throughput of Gogo's existing modem, which offers plenty of room to
support the increased capacity of next generation high-throughput
satellites as they come online.
The new modem includes dual channels to simultaneously support
internet traffic and broadcast IPTV. It also features faster
and more sophisticated processing that enables much shorter
hand-offs from one satellite to the next.
"We are always looking at new innovations in each component of
our connectivity solutions," said Anand
Chari, chief technology officer. "This new modem
greatly improves the performance of our industry leading 2Ku
solution, as well as our Ku solution, and is forward compatible
with new HTS satellite constellations. This modem helps us future
proof our in-flight connectivity solutions."
The new modem will be retrofitted on more than 450 aircraft on
which Gogo's 2Ku or Ku systems are installed through an easy plug
and play installation process. In addition, the 2Ku system
installed on Gogo's backlog of more than 1400 aircraft will include
the new modem.
