Constant Aviation said it will be one of the first Gogo dealers to develop STCs for the new air-to-ground Gogo Business Aviation 4G service that will be available in the first half of next year for the continental U.S. and “large portions” of Alaska and Canada. The MRO plans to develop STCs for the Embraer ERJ-145 Shuttle, Legacy 600/650 and Phenom 300, as well as the Gulfstream GV, and will participate as a partner for hardware sales and installations on other business aircraft.
Created specifically for the business aviation market, Gogo’s 4G system leverages the company’s existing ground network of more than 250 towers and onboard technology. The in-aircraft 4G equipment package is a single, lightweight box that provides on-board, dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi.
The new service will include services such as Gogo Vision, which encompasses movies, TV, flight tracker and weather reports; Gogo Text & Talk, allowing passengers to call and text with their personal smartphones and mobile numbers; streaming video and audio; video calls; email; and web browsing.
