Cutter Aviation Holds Certificate To Install Gogo
Broadband
An STC for in-flight, high-speed wireless connectivity for the
Beechjet 400A and Hawker 400XP family utilizing Aircell Gogo Biz
in-flight broadband has been granted to Cutter Aviation in Phoenix,
AZ.
Cutter developed the STC in partnership with Aircell utilizing
the its ATG 4000 and ATG 5000 systems for installation in the
Beechjet airframe. The STC was awarded on December 19, 2011 after
nearly a year of development and is now available for purchase and
installation on all Beechjet 400A and Hawker 400XP light business
jet aircraft.
“In-flight wireless Internet access is no longer just an
‘extra’ for business aviation aircraft… it has
become a requirement for peak in-flight productivity in the digital
age,” said David Lohmeyer, Director of R&D for Aircraft
Avionics and Services at Cutter Aviation. “Beechjet and
Hawker 400XP operators have been waiting for a light,
cost-effective in-flight WiFi solution for their aircraft and
Cutter Aviation stepped up to meet their needs with the Aircell STC
package.”
With the Aircell in-flight WiFi STC by Cutter Aviation, Beechjet
operators may now access the Internet in the air just like they are
able to at home, in the office or at public “hotspots”
like their local coffee shop. Laptops, tablets and smartphones
connect in-flight with ease just like a normal WiFi connection.
In-flight users connect at speeds up to 3.1 megabites per second
(mbps) and network coverage extends nationwide. The equipment and
antennas developed by Aircell are light and compact enough for easy
installation on a light jet like the Beechjet and more affordable
than ever.
Various monthly data packages through the Aircell Gogo Biz
provide Internet access for a wide range of budgets, from basic
connectivity through unlimited data plans.
