Gogo has announced that U.S.-based aircraft management, fractional ownership, jet cards, and charter services operator Airshare is equipping its fleet of Embraer Phenom 300s with the Gogo Galileo HDX system. The upgrade delivers high-speed, low-latency connectivity across Airshare’s Phenom fleet, enabling passengers and crew to email, stream, video conference, and browse simultaneously from anywhere they fly.
Gogo Galileo is powered by the Eutelsat OneWeb low-earth-orbit (LEO) network, delivering reliable high-speed, low-latency broadband globally. The Galileo HDX electronically steered antenna (ESA) offers a compact, lightweight, aerodynamic and low-power solution capable of delivering reliable speeds of up to 60 Mbps and is minimally invasive to install.
“Delivering premium connectivity that keeps customers productive and entertained is essential to our flying experience,” says John Owen, CEO of Airshare.
“Passengers expect to board, connect, and stay fully productive and entertained simultaneously. Gogo Galileo brings that same experience to every segment of business aviation and Airshare’s Phenom 300 fleet is a great example of what that looks like in practice,” says Michael Skou Christensen, CCO of Gogo.
