Pentastar Aviation Developing Certification for Gogo AVANCE L5 System

Pentastar Aviation is taking the lead to meet the connectivity needs of its customers by working with Gogo Business Aviation to develop STCs for the company’s Gogo AVANCE L5 (4G) system in Gulfstream G450 and G550 aircraft.

Gogo AVANCE L5 connects aircraft to the Gogo Biz 4G network enabling a 4G experience and greater in-flight amenities such as streaming audio and video, email with large attachments, and faster web browsing. The new STCs will bring it all to life for business travelers using the onboard Wi-Fi network offered by Gogo, the leader in in-flight connectivity equipment.

“Connectivity is a high priority for our customers, and as business travel has continued to evolve, we’ve worked to keep up with the changing needs of our customers, and Gogo’s service is another great asset we can offer,” said Jesse Beard, Pentastar Aviation’s Avionics and Engineering Manager.

Gogo’s system was created with business aviation travelers in mind. In addition to the company’s 4G service, which leverages its existing air-to-ground network comprised of more than 250 towers, fiber backhaul and technology, Gogo’s technology on the plane also features dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi service. The company’s systems are currently flying on thousands of commercial and business aircraft, delivering proven and quality service to customers.
