Gogo Business Aviation, a broadband services company, said it will launch the first global broadband service in business aviation to use an electronically steered antenna, or ESA, on a low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite network.
The company, which made the announcement Monday during the European Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition (EBACE 2022) hosted by the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) in Geneva, Switzerland, says its antenna, designed with Hughes Network Systems LLC, will be small enough to be installed on the airplane’s fuselage for a range of business aircraft “from super light jets and large turboprops to ultralong-range jets.”
