Inflight Connectivity Provider Clears Way For Commercial Service

Gogo, a US-based inflight connectivity provider, has completed flight testing and validation of its next-generation air-to-ground 5G connectivity network, paving the way for commercial service across the contiguous US and parts of southern Canada starting in January 2026. The company’s ATG 5G network has demonstrated high-speed, low-latency connectivity, with download speeds exceeding 80 Mbps and upload speeds of more than 20 Mbps.
