COMPANY HISTORY & TIMELINE HISTORY The idea for Gogo began in 1991 in a barbecue joint in Denison, Texas, where company founder Jimmy Ray first sketched on a paper napkin his visionary idea for an affordable telephone system for private airplanes. In the beginning… Through a unique partnership with cellular providers, Gogo began as Aircell, providing analog-based voice communications on private aircraft in North America. By the late ‘90s, we had successfully leveraged a satellite-based system to offer voice communication on overseas flights. Our next step was to devise a way to bring the power of in-air connectivity to the masses, thereby keeping travelers fully connected to life. Gogo goes commercial In 2006, we were awarded the FCC’s exclusive Air-To-Ground (ATG) 3Mhz broadband frequency license, which brought with it the daunting challenges of design, patent, and deployment of an uninterrupted network across the U.S. Yet in less than two years’ time, we captured the world’s attention with the power of our proprietary Air-To-Ground broadband network. In 2008, Gogo made its stunning debut on commercial aircraft, bringing robust Internet access to the skies and transforming the commercial air experience for modern travelers. Coast to coast, border to border, Gogo delivered broadband coverage to a place it had never been: 30,000 feet above the entire continental United States. On top of the world today With more than 1,100 commercial and 5,000 business aircraft equipped with our services across our ATG and satellite technology platforms, Gogo is far and away the world leader in inflight connectivity. We continue to develop products and services to help keep passengers entertained while they’re in air, in keeping with our goal of becoming everyone’s favorite thing to do while flying.
