Gogo releases over-the-air software updates for AVANCE platform

Gogo Business Aviation announced the release of over-the-air software updates for its Gogo AVANCE platform on Tuesday. New and existing customers can update their AVANCE system software remotely though the Gogo DASH. Now, customers can update their system with the Gogo DASH, an app-based toolkit exclusively available to AVANCE customers, removing the need for extra downtime to perform manual software updates. By introducing OTA, the AVANCE software updates can be deployed without ever touching the aircraft, reducing the time for software updates and improving the efficiency and management of upgrading large fleets. "This industry-first capability for connectivity systems demonstrates our deep understanding of business aviation, and the maintenance required of aviation-grade technology," Gogo President and COO Sergio Aguirre said. "OTA software updates can be done completely hands-free, saving our customers time and money, and ensuring that they have the latest AVANCE features and functionality." Gogo AVANCE customers can experience the efficiency and ease of the OTA software updates using a Cloudport connection through the Gogo secure digital content delivery network, Gogo Cloud, or the Terrestrial Modern. The OTA will be available for all AVANCE customers through the Gogo Cloud network after Dec. 31, 2024. The process to complete OTA software updates is the same through the Cloudport and TM. Current AVANCE customers can use a step-by-step video for more information on using the Gogo DASH Equipment Maintenance app to upgrade their AVANCE platform software over-the-air or they can contact Gogo connectivity experts.
