Gogo completes DO-160 testing for the HDX antenna. DO-160 testing is crucial for ensuring the HDX antenna is suitable for use in harsh environments encountered by equipment mounted on the exterior of business aircraft. Completing this milestone verifies that we are on track for the first-article STC and launch this year.

Gogo, in conjunction with Duncan Aviation, has completed the first installation of Gogo Galileo HDX on a Bombardier Challenger 300 and has commenced flight testing to finetune the performance and integrity of the system. Reaching this milestone puts Gogo Galileo HDX on track to launch in Q4 2024, on time and on budget.

Gogo receives the first design validation test (DVT) unit at its headquarters in Broomfield, CO. The DVT unit is being installed by Duncan on Gogo's Challenger 300, the first article STC aircraft, and will be used for intial engineering flight testing.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Earth station in motion (ESIM) regulatory license grants Gogo the authority to commercialize and operate the HDX and FDX antenna terminals on US-registered aircraft, and those registered in other countries within U.S. territory including territorial waters.
Gogo completes the first end-to-end connection over the Eutelsat OneWeb network using the HDX antenna with a Gogo AVANCE SCS LRU, achieving a major milestone in the development of the Gogo Galileo program. We sat down with Matt Martin, Gogo Galileo Product Manager, to understand the importance of this milestone.

Gogo receives the first fully constructed engineering prototype at its headquarters in Broomfield, CO. This prototype will be used for software integration and to perform over-the-air tests. This is a significant step forward for validating design and preparing us for flight tests later this year.
At EBACE 2023, one year after announcing our plans to launch the first global broadband service in business aviation, Gogo Galileo, we had a ground demo of the experience with the FDX antenna. See live customer reactions to Gogo Galileo performance.

OneWeb's final launch marks the first complete LEO internet satellite constellation and a major milestone in delivering true global inflight connectivity for business aviation.
Gogo and Hughes met over a 3-day period to ensure that the preliminary design of the ESA meets all system requirements and is on track with the proposed design.
At EBACE 2022, we announced our plans to launch the first global broadband service in business aviation to use an electronically steered antenna (ESA) on a low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite network.
Gogo AVANCE (SCS or L3 or L5 or LX5) is the path to global broadband. Install an AVANCE system today and you'll be ready for Gogo Galileo with the addition of the antenna. But the best part is that AVANCE not only gets you ready for Gogo Galileo, it also gives you incredible connectivity right now -- streaming-capable 4G inflight Wi-Fi, 5G when it launches, on-demand inflight entertainment, connectivity control tools, and much more.
