In-flight connectivity company GoGo and world-leading satellite operator SES have collaborated to provide Gogo broadband services aboard commercial airliners travelling to Europe, United States and the North Atlantic Ocean Region
Three SES satellites will be used for the commercial airliners: SES-1 serving continental United States; NSS-703 serving the North Atlantic; and SES-4 serving Europe. All satellites intend to allow the expansion of GoGo’s in-flight coverage. The company’s services via the NSS-703 aim to be changed to the new SES-6 satellite by mid 2014.
SES CCO Ferdinand Kayser said in a statement, “GoGo and SES are proof positive that the sky is no longer the limit, as we strike an important mobility deal that ensures seamless internet access for air passengers travelling some of the busiest routes in the world. GoGo has trusted SES to provide both the capacity and network support to enable its expansion over America and the exciting entry into the crucial North Atlantic Region and Europe. We look forward to playing a key role in this important communications advancement in global airline travel.”
GoGo is expected to commence its international internet services during the first quarter of 2013 on Delta Air Lines.
