Gogo Business Aviation is currently conducting virtual flight simulation testing of its 5G software using an advanced virtual flight simulator built by Gogo’s radio frequency (RF) engineering team.
The business aviation connectivity company plans to offer Gogo 5G services later this year. Gogo has validated Gogo 5G software with a confidence level of over 90 percent by emulating radio channels in an aircraft environment, and this technology enables end-to-end 5G system testing ahead of schedule and accelerates software maturation. says it’s helpful. at a faster pace before the flight test begins.
Radio frequency performance can be checked by considering factors such as Doppler, altitude, flight route, approach angle, beamforming technology, and other parameters. These are all important factors, he says Gogo.
“The virtual flight simulator that our team built is an example of what we do best: innovation,” said Sergio Aguirre, President and COO of Gogo. “Our team has designed an incredible way to validate and mature the 5G software and hardware to a critical level before the final 5G chip reaches our hands. ”
The 5G software will be flight tested once lab testing is complete, for which Gogo will use the company’s Challenger 300 testbed and the already deployed Gogo 5G network.
