CHICAGO, Oct. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Gogo (NASDAQ:
GOGO), the global leader in providing broadband connectivity solutions and wireless entertainment to the aviation industry, and
Phasor, a developer of innovative, modular, electronically steerable antennas (ESAs), have announced a research and development
partnership for application of their technology to the in-flight connectivity market.
"Gogo is committed to offering our aviation partners a roadmap for the future that will bring the most bandwidth at lower
costs to the aero market," said Gogo's president and CEO, Michael Small. "Whether it's
satellite advancements, new modem technologies or best in class antenna technologies, our focus is on what's best for aviation,
and Phasor is developing ground-breaking satellite antenna innovations for the aero market."
Phasor's very low profile, electronically-steerable antenna products are based on well-established semiconductor fabrication
techniques, and enable signal tracking with no moving parts. The antenna architecture is inherently modular, which allows the
system to be scaled to various sizes and dimensions depending on the demands of the application, making this antenna technology
particularly attractive for smaller aircraft.
"Gogo is a technology leader in the in-flight connectivity market, and we are very pleased to partner with them so that
together we may address the burgeoning demand for communications in the aeronautical broadband sector," said David Helfgott, CEO of Phasor. "Phasor's breakthrough technology is powerful and flexible and can
therefore facilitate multiple in-flight connectivity applications. We look forward to working closely with the Gogo team to
better serve this important and growing market."
