Gogo\u2019s 5G infrastructure will support all spectrum types (licensed,\nshared, unlicensed) and bands (mid, high, low), and will allow Gogo to take\nadvantage of new advances in technology as they are developed. Similar to how\nwireless carriers provide redundancy across their networks, Gogo will continue\nto employ its 3G and 4G networks throughout the continental U.S. and in Canada\nthat will provide backup to the 5G network when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When compared to satellite technologies, ground-based\nnetwork technologies in general deliver certain operational advantages \u2013\nspecifically lower cost of operation and lower latency. Gogo is committed to\nprovide easy upgrade paths to 5G for existing Gogo air to ground customers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gogo has announced its plans to build a 5G network for aviation.
