Gogo announced on September 25, 2025, that its next-generation 5G air-to-ground (ATG) technology has reached the crucial final phases of terrestrial testing. Results indicate that the 5G chip meets and exceeds anticipated performance speeds and network models, confirming Gogo is closer to delivering unprecedented ATG speeds to North American customers.
Testing has progressed beyond virtual modeling, now utilizing the AVANCE LX5 platform, MB13 antennas, and associated software to establish stable connections, delivering peak speeds of up to 80 Mbps. This performance easily supports streaming, video conferencing, and data-hungry applications across multiple devices, emulating at-home and office digital capabilities.
Flight testing is expected to commence in early Q4, following the completion of terrestrial testing. Gogo has already contracted 33 STCs, with 28 completed, and secured line fit commitments with five OEMs for the 5G ATG service, with over 300 private aircraft pre-provisioned for the network.
