GOGO Advances 5G Testing With Virtual Flight Simulations

Gogo GOGO announced the commencement of virtual flight simulation testing for its 5G software and expects to launch Gogo 5G later this year.

The testing uses an advanced virtual flight simulator, which was developed by the radio frequency engineering team. Gogo is simulating the radio channel in an airborne environment to evaluate the Gogo 5G software with more than 90% confidence.

The solution helps to develop the software faster before flight testing starts and enables end-to-end 5G system testing ahead of schedule. Gogo will leverage proprietary data and flight information to asses radio frequency performance considering various factors like the doppler effect, flight paths and beam-forming technology. These factors are crucial for optimizing 5G service and onboard connectivity.
