Press Releases

CHICAGO, Feb. 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Gogo (NASDAQ: GOGO), the global leader in providing broadband connectivity solutions and wireless entertainment to the aviation industry, announced today that its Gogo Vision product has been installed on more than 2,000 aircraft.  The technology is disrupting the traditional "seat-back solution" model and has Gogo operating with scale as large as some of the biggest in-flight entertainment companies.  Gogo is now the leading provider of wireless in-flight entertainment by a large margin and is making gains on becoming the largest in-flight entertainment provider in the world.

"We know that passengers want entertainment on their own devices.  We also know that almost everyone boards a plane with at least one Wi-Fi enabled device.  Gogo Vision was built to take advantage of this trend," said Ash ElDifrawi, Gogo's chief commercial officer.  "It has become successful because weight matters in aviation.  When compared to traditional in-flight entertainment solutions, Gogo is much lighter weight, requires less maintenance and is lower cost." 

More than 2,200 commercial aircraft are outfitted with the technology and more than 1 million videos are being watched through Gogo Vision each month. 

The video content is stored on a server on the plane and delivered to a passenger's own device through Gogo's in-cabin network.  In the past year alone, Gogo added its Gogo Vision product to more than 1,000 aircraft including aircraft operated by most major U.S. airlines.

"We continue to develop digital products and services that leverage our connectivity technology in support of our mission: to advance aviation by connecting every aircraft," added ElDifrawi.  "Whether that's giving passengers access to the Internet and a host of in-flight entertainment options or building products and services that support airline operations, we continue to build products and services that are advancing aviation."
