Gogo’s Ka-band antenna system receives EASA approval for Falcons

BROOMFIELD, Colorado - Gogo (NASDAQ:GOGO), the in-flight connectivity provider with a market capitalization of $1.1 billion and strong gross profit margins of 51%, announced Tuesday that its Plane Simple Ka-band tail mount antenna system has received European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) supplemental type certification approvals for Dassault Falcon 7X and 8X aircraft. According to InvestingPro data, the company appears undervalued based on its Fair Value analysis.

The company worked with Dassault Falcon Jet in Le Bourget, France to obtain the certification, which has already been implemented on a privately owned Falcon 7X. The system complements existing L-Band and SwiftBroadband solutions on these aircraft. With revenue growth of 73% in the last twelve months, Gogo continues to expand its market presence.

The certification provides Falcon 7X and 8X operators with access to global connectivity powered by the Viasat next-generation Ka-band GX network. According to the press release, the system enables multiple passengers to simultaneously use video streaming, conferencing, email, and voice calling.

"With the equipping of the Plane Simple Ka-band terminal, passengers regularly flying lengthy international routes will have access to reliable, consistent high-speed connectivity," said Michael Skou Christensen, Chief Commercial Officer at Gogo.

The Plane Simple terminals require installation of just two line-replaceable units: the tail-mount antenna and the SDR Gateway router. The system is now available for installation through Dassault Falcon Jet and its Authorized Service Center network.

The EASA certification covers government, executive, and private aircraft. Gogo stated that approvals from the Federal Aviation Administration, Transport Canada Civil Aviation, and Brazil’s National Civil Aviation Agency are expected to follow.

The company reports receiving interest from operators in Europe and beyond seeking to enhance their aircraft connectivity capabilities with this system. With analysts forecasting continued sales growth and profitability this year, Gogo’s expansion appears well-timed.
