A Solution to Bridge the Gap
With Gogo's licensed Gogo Biz air-to-ground (ATG) network set for an LTE migration scheduled in May 2026, legacy ATG systems (ATG 1000/2000/4000/5000) will soon become obsolete resulting in disrupted inflight internet connectivity if not proactively addressed.
This upgrade is part of Gogo's broader push toward LTE and, eventually, 5G technologies which benefits include improved bandwidth and performance.
The Gogo C1 is designed specifically as a transitional solution for operators not ready for the jump to AVANCE. Some key features & benefits include:
- Fit & Form Replacement: A straightforward LRU swap that reuses your existing ATG antennas, cabling, trays, and routers
- Maintains Connectivity: Stay online throughout the LTE transition while covering the contiguous U.S. as well as parts of Canada & Alaska
- Performance & Service Plans: Service comparable to your current ATG system under existing Gogo Business Aviation plans
- Installation Incentives: Rebates available towards the installation for those who swap and return a legacy ATG unit
The C1 is designed as a bridge-the-gap product enabling continued connectivity as customers prepare for AVANCE without redundant downtime or infrastructure.
While the C1 offers a critical lifeline, Gogo is also encouraging a full upgrade to AVANCE L3 or L5 with attractive rebate tiers to facilitate the transition:
- Valid until December 31, 2025:
- Upgrade to AVANCE L3 → $25,000 rebate
- Upgrade to AVANCE L5 with dual directional antennas → $50,000 rebate
- Upgrade to AVANCE L5 with MB13 antennas → $80,000 rebate plus a free swap to LX5 LRU when available
As the deadline for ATG service termination nears, aircraft owners & operators face growing demand for installation openings at qualified shops & service centers.
Here's how Southeast Aerospace can position clients for success:
- Offer the Gogo C1 installation: A seamless, rebate-supported solution to bridge the connectivity gap
