Gogo begins flight tests of next‑generation 5G air‑to‑ground service with AVANCE LX5 and Gogo X3

Gogo has started flight testing its next‑generation 5G air‑to‑ground (A2G) connectivity network over North America, using a Pilatus PC‑24 trials platform flown on alternating days to validate an unrestricted 5G ATG broadband service. Tests are exercising a 5G chip and new onboard LRUs: AVANCE LX5 and Gogo X3.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • Gogo has moved from lab validation to airborne trials — the Pilatus PC‑24 is flying alternate days to stress the system and verify real‑world 5G A2G performance.
  • The programme follows Gogo’s earlier terrestrial 5G validation and advances its timeline toward a targeted 2026 commercial rollout.
  • Successful A2G service would complement Gogo’s satellite product momentum and recent government wins, reinforcing a multi‑band airborne connectivity strategy shown in its SD Government US contract and aftermarket satellite deployments (Galileo HDX/FDX) reported earlier.
