SES announced new satellite capacity deals with Gogo to meet the growing demand for high-speed In-Flight Connectivity (IFC) services on travel routes over the United States and Canada. The new contracts with Gogo include capacity on 12 additional Ku-band transponders, as well as supporting ground infrastructure.

With these latest agreements, Gogo has now signed important capacity deals across 11 SES satellites around the world, including significant long-term agreements for Ku-band High Throughput Satellite (HTS) capacity onboard the SES 14 and SES 15 satellites scheduled for launch this year.

“This latest capacity deal with SES allows us to add bandwidth over some of the busiest air travel routes over the U.S. and Canada, where our airline customers continue to see passenger demand for high-speed connectivity on the rise,” said Anand Chari, Gogo’s Chief Technology Officer (CTO).
