Gogo Business Aviation is a provider of in-flight broadband Internet service and other connectivity services for business aircraft.

Gogo received FAA parts manufacturing approval (PMA) for its Galileo HDX, paving the way for the connectivity provider to begin full-scale production and sales of the electronically steered antenna. Gogo’s dealer network is moving ahead with installation and supplemental type certifications of the Galileo HDX units on more than 30 aircraft types.
Designed for business aviation use, Galileo HDX fits onto the aircraft fuselage and connects to the Gogo Avance system through simple cabling to support high-speed broadband of up to 60 Mbps throughout the cabin. The HDX antenna will bring low-latency connectivity to the cabin via the global Eutelsat OneWeb low-earth-orbit satellite constellation.
HDX, offered for new aircraft or as retrofit equipment, can be fitted on aircraft ranging from turboprops and small jets to executive airliners.
“The PMA approval represents a significant change for the connectivity landscape as the introduction of the Gogo Galileo LEO HDX antenna opens up a whole new world of connectivity for existing and new customers,” said Gogo CEO Chris Moore.
“We know operators and private owners of the smaller cabins want access to the same high-speed connectivity options as the large jets, and with HDX installed, we are filling that gap in the market. For larger aircraft, the HDX can complement existing connectivity solutions or boost redundancy to support the ever-increasing appetite for data to power multiple applications.”
