Gogo Avance L3 Delivers Broadband Connectivity to Business Aviation

Gogo Business Aviation on Jan. 9, unveils Gogo Avance L3, a new inflight connectivity system that delivers the benefits of the Gogo Avance platform to passengers and flight departments in a small, lightweight form factor. Gogo’s technology platform can be installed on business aircraft of all types and sizes, but is an ideal solution for smaller aircraft including turboprops and light jets.

The Gogo Avance platform integrates a range of Smart Cabin features, allowing passengers to access and use available data, voice, maps, entertainment and cabin management system (CMS) services.

The new system includes a built-in smart router and allows for a variety of service offerings to best fit a customer’s needs. The level of flexibility allows operators to tailor their passengers’ experience. With Avance L3 they can control and manage the number of devices they allow to connect and can scale their configuration up or down.

Using Avance L3, anyone onboard the aircraft can stay connected to email; send text messages and make voice calls with Gogo Text & Talk (service plan required); access their favorite flight apps such as moving maps, weather and flight information; or watch movies and TV shows using Gogo Vision (service plan required). For customers looking for full internet connectivity, Avance L3 can be enabled to connect to the Gogo Biz data network delivering a 3G experience. It’s the ultimate in scalability and flexibility.

Three service offerings will be available to deliver performance and flexibility, while not breaking the budget.

“We designed Avance L3 to provide a robust, high-performance Wi-Fi experience at an affordable price that gives customers the flexibility to add or reduce system capabilities as their business needs evolve,” said Mike Syverson, senior vice president of development for Gogo Business Aviation. “Avance L3 gives the ability to move seamlessly to different service offerings without being constrained by the hardware itself. It’s the Avance software-centric solutions from the provider you trust.”
