Gogo has installed its Gogo Galileo connectivity system on a Bombardier Global aircraft in Brazil, marking a regional milestone. The owner of the aircraft which already had a Gogo Plane Simple antenna running on a geostationary earth orbit (GEO) satellite system opted to add the new system to achieve multi-orbit connectivity.
The Plane Simple Ku-band terminal, which uses SES FlexExec’s GEO satellite system, was installed in 2024 by Líder Aviação, a Gogo authorised dealer in Brazil. Líder Aviação also performed the installation of a Gogo Galileo HDX electronically steered antenna (ESA) powered by the Eutelsat OneWeb enterprise-grade LEO network.
The HDX is a compact, lightweight, low power and high-performance solution with reliable speeds of up to 60 Mbps, optimised for light to large-cabin aircraft.
Ewerton Libanio, Managing Director of Gogo Brazil, said: “The customer specifically sought to incorporate a LEO solution into the aircraft, recognising its cost advantages, while still delivering exceptional performance. Travelling both within Brazil but also internationally, the aircraft owner wanted to keep their Gogo Plane Simple system to ensure multi-orbit redundancy. This enables broader global coverage – including remote and polar regions – while optimizing performance through lower latency, higher throughput, and intelligent traffic routing.”
Gogo’s multi-orbit model chooses the best available network dynamically in real time, which ensures a more reliable, resilient connection with fewer dropouts and consistent high-speed performance.
