Gogo
Gogo operates onboard Wi-Fi hotspot connections in commercial
aircraft that provide inflight Internet access (the Aircell Network). Passengers with WiFi enabled devices, such as
laptops, smartphones and PDAs, can surf the Web, check e-mail, instant message, access a corporate VPN and more. Gogo
operates fleet-wide on AirTran Airways and Virgin America and provides connectivity to several hundred of American Airlines
and Delta Air Lines aircraft. United Airlines, US Airways, Air Canada and Northwest (through the Delta merger) have also
announced plans to equip their aircraft with the service.
Gogo works with laptops, smartphones and other handheld devices equipped with WiFi (802.11 a/b/g wireless capability), offered by all major U.S. carriers.
Platforms supported include: BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, Apple, and Nokia (Symbian S60). Voice service is not supported.
The device must have an independent power supply (battery; some aircraft have in-flight power outlets that allow you to
charge your laptop & other devices while in the air). Pricing is per flight and flight duration (24-hour and 30-day passes
are also available). Gogo is available only onboard specific aircraft, not in airline terminals, and does not become active
until the aircraft has reached a minimum altitude of 10,000 feet. Conversely, when the aircraft descends below 10,000 feet,
Gogo will no longer be active.
