Gogo Business Aviation has completed more than 1,000 successful AVANCE system software updates globally using Gogo’s over-the-air (OTA) feature.
Gogo says OTA replaces the USB kit method that requires fleet operators to go plane to plane for each update, resulting in a remote, hands-free process that can be deployed for all aircraft simultaneously.
In addition to benefits like OTA, Gogo says that the AVANCE platform has been intentionally designed to provide easy upgrade paths to new technologies and networks such as Gogo Galileo, Gogo’s Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite solution for global connectivity, and Gogo 5G for North American operators.
“OTA addresses the largest problem we’ve heard from our fleet customers: updating aircraft positioned around the world. OTA eliminates this logistical issue and makes access to our most up-to-date and value-add features easier than ever,” said Sanjeev Nagpal, senior vice president of product management for Gogo.
Gogo is getting ready to launch its Gogo Galileo and Gogo 5G products and OTA will also expand to support antenna software updates. Gogo says the OTA was launched in conjunction with AVANCE software update v4.4 and has become the fastest-adopted software update in Gogo’s 30-year history.
