This Global 6000 is the first aircraft in Brazil to have Gogo Galileo installed to achieve multi-orbit connectivity.
Gogo said a first customer in Brazil has installed a set of antennas to connect to satellite communications networks in multiple orbits.
The private owner of a Bombardier Global 6000 has selected Gogo’s fuselage-mounted HDX electronically steered antenna to access the Gogo Galileo network, which uses the Eutelsat OneWeb constellation of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites. The aircraft was equipped in 2024 with Gogo’s tail-mounted, mechanically steered Plane Simple Ku-band antenna, which accesses the SES FlexExec network of geostationary earth orbit (GEO) satellites.
Líder Aviação, a Gogo authorized dealer in Brazil, performed both installations.
Gogo’s multi-orbit service model dynamically chooses the best available network in real time, ensuring a more reliable, resilient connection with fewer dropouts and consistent high-speed performance, the company says.
“The customer specifically sought to incorporate a LEO solution into the aircraft, recognizing its cost advantages, while still delivering exceptional performance,” said Ewerton Libanio, managing director of Gogo Brazil.
“Traveling both within Brazil but also internationally, the aircraft owner wanted to keep their Gogo Plane Simple system to ensure multi-orbit redundancy,” Libanio said. “This enables broader global coverage—including in remote and polar regions—while optimizing performance through lower latency, higher throughput, and intelligent traffic routing.”
