Affordable New System Enables In-Flight Email And Use Of Personal Smartphones
Gogo is introducing the ATG 1000 – a new connectivity system particularly well-suited for light jets, turboprops and owner-flown aircraft.
Via the Gogo Biz network service, the ATG 1000 enables high-performance e-mail with attachments and calling and texting with passengers’ own smartphones and mobile numbers. The ATG 1000 is software-upgradable, which gives customers the unique ability to add connectivity features – such as web browsing – at any time, simply by purchasing a software key. Beyond passenger use, in-flight connectivity continues to grow in popularity among flight crews. In the future, the ATG 1000 is also expected to support select cockpit and operational applications.
Originally launched for the business aviation market in 2009, the Gogo Biz network service utilizes Gogo’s unique air-to-ground technology, providing service coverage throughout the continental U.S. and portions of Alaska and Canada above 10,000 feet.

“We’re pleased to introduce another new Gogo Biz equipment package to the business aviation market," said John Wade, Gogo Business Aviation’s executive vice president and general manager. "The ATG 1000’s affordability will make a connected in-flight experience accessible to a whole new category of aircraft. With high-performance e-mail and personal smartphone use, it’s basic connectivity that’s anything but basic.”
ATG 1000 shipments are expected to begin this summer.
