Gogo Business Aviation (NASDAQ: GOGO) |Satcom
Direct today announced the finalizing of a multifaceted
Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Airbus. The MoU confirms the
two organizations’ aim to leverage the full potential of the Gogo
Air-to-Ground (ATG), FlightDeck Freedom, and Gogo Galileo satellite
connectivity solutions to deliver low-latency, high-speed broadband
internet to Airbus ACJ operators.
The joint commitment, once firmed up, will allow Airbus’ ACJ
Connect Link customers to benefit from ATG and Gogo Galileo Half
Duplex (HDX) and Full Duplex (FDX) terminals provided as retrofit
options on all Airbus ACJ types. In addition, it will include the
full suite of Gogo|SD added value services, including cybersecurity
services, crew training and 24/7/365 customer support.
Powered by the Eutelsat OneWeb Low Earth Orbit, LEO
constellation, which is the only LEO network delivering
enterprise-grade aviation solutions, Gogo will supply Airbus ACJ
operators with its next-gen phased array antennas to integrate into
Airbus’ ACJ Connect Link solution. With a small form factor and
fewer components, minimal downtime is required to equip the
airframe, enabling rapid access to high-speed cabin connectivity,
flight deck services and inflight entertainment.
Chadi Saade, President of Airbus Corporate Jets, said, “We are
very pleased to enter into this MoU agreement with Gogo, especially
as we aim to offer our Airbus ACJ operators and business leaders
the highest standard connectivity solutions and customer support.
This will allow them to be in the right place at the right time,
connected and ready to act. Moreover, we are confident that Gogo
presents a compelling solution with its cutting-edge technology,
backed by a global customer support team of industry experts.”
Airbus will collaborate with its qualified partners to certify
the terminal integration and generate the required Supplemental
Type Certificates for the HDX, FDX, and ATG equipment
installations. Once the solution is approved and following the firm
contract signature, Airbus will lead the marketing and sales
activities to ensure that ACJ operators can optimize the suite of
connectivity solutions.
The Gogo Galileo solution will enrich Airbus' ACJ Connect Link
offering so that operators, passengers, and crew will be able to
enjoy a plethora of uninterrupted applications, including voice,
internet, email services, video conferencing, gaming, and live
movie and TV streaming from boarding to deplaning globally.
“With the Gogo Galileo solution, Airbus ACJ operators have
immediate access to global, low latency broadband service to
support full connectivity capability and redundancy. Passengers
will be able to emulate their digital life on the ground in the
air,” says Chris Moore, CEO of Gogo. “As these aircraft
frequently travel the globe, the operators need to know they can
deliver reliable, consistent connectivity at all times, and we are
committed to ensuring that we deliver best-in-class connectivity to
Airbus ACJ customers. This is a major milestone in the Gogo
connectivity journey, and we’re proud to work with Airbus to
elevate and enrich its connectivity offering,” concludes Moore.
