Gogo's LTE Network Transition:
What you need to know

With Gogo’s 5G network complete, we are turning our attention to updating the service and experience of our licensed Gogo Biz network. The results of this network update will benefit both passengers and operators in terms of experience and longevity of staying connected with the best inflight connected experience available.

What is happening and how will it affect you?

• Gogo’s network is evolving; we are migrating the Gogo Biz network to newer LTE technology.
• The LTE network will require an update to both Gogo’s ground-based infrastructure as well as the hardware onboard the aircraft for any aircraft flying with a Classic ATG system (ATG 1000, 2000, 4000, 5000, 8000).
• Certain customers with early-era AVANCE hardware will also need to exchange their system to newer, LTE-capable AVANCE hardware. Learn more about the AVANCE Box Exchange program here.
• It's in your best interest to complete your upgrade/exchange by December 31, 2025, to take advantage of rebate promotions and to ensure continued connectivity when we transition to our LTE network in early 2026 as part of the Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Reimbursement Program.

What are my options?

• Gogo AVANCE systems today are designed to operate on both the current Gogo Biz network and the future LTE network, and upgrading to AVANCE will provide both immediate and long-term benefits:
  • AVANCE L3 will provide an immediate performance improvement over your Classic ATG system today, and will gain a 40% performance boost in 2026 with our new LTE network.
  • AVANCE L5 will provide an experience 3x more powerful than your Classic ATG system today, and an additional 10% improvement in the experience once the new network is online; additionally, it can be upgraded to connect with our cutting-edge Gogo 5G network (see below for details).

• Gogo C1 serves as a form-fit replacement for your Classic ATG system and will also operate on both the current Gogo Biz network and the future LTE network. The Gogo C1 was designed to maintain your current connectivity with minimal downtime and changes to your existing installation.
• Limited time rebates are available for all upgrade options.
