Purpose-built for business aviation and designed for ease of installation, the FDX Electronically Steered Antenna (ESA) leverages the full potential of the Eutelsat OneWeb low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation, supporting high-speed broadband with up to 195Mbps download and 32Mbps upload speeds throughout the cabin. Simple cabling connects the ESA to the Gogo AVANCE system and is optimized for super-midsize and larger aircraft carrying multiple passengers using multiple devices simultaneously.
Gogo has achieved PMA for the Gogo Galileo FDX just a few weeks after reaching the same milestone for its HDX antenna, demonstrating its commitment to delivering world-class connectivity through optimized solutions to every size of business, VVIP, head of state and mil/gov aircraft. It can be equipped onto new aircraft or retrofitted for cabin upgrades to deliver uninterrupted global connectivity.
“With this Gogo Galileo FDX PMA approval we are demonstrating our continuing commitment to opening up a new world of connectivity for more aircraft owners and operators than ever before,” says Chris Moore, CEO Gogo. “With the addition of the FDX to our portfolio of agnostic connectivity solutions, we can deliver consistent global connectivity that satisfies the diverse needs of the dynamic business aviation sector,” adds Moore.
Installation is minimally invasive for reduced downtime; and the software-driven FDX is futureproofed and optimized for the rapid switching between satellites required to deliver consistent, uninterrupted, high-speed broadband service. Commercial service introduction is expected in late 2025.
