Gogo To Buy More Intelsat Network Capacity

Gogo is partnering with Intelsat to "leverage the first shared [geosynchronous/low Earth orbit] satellite network for in-flight connectivity," Gogo said in a news release Monday. Gogo will expand its use of Intelsat's network in 2016 by buying additional Ku-band capacity, it said. Gogo said Intelsat network infrastructure will "initially include use of traditional wide beam services and the ... high throughput satellite" Intelsat EpicNG platform, which is expected to become operational this year.
