Following its acquisition of Gogo Commercial Aviation in December 2020, Intelsat is now dropping the Gogo name and including the operations under its Intelsat brand. The vertical integration of Gogo bolsters Intelsat’s delivery of high-performance inflight entertainment and connectivity (IFEC) for the commercial aviation industry.
“This name change is happening while Intelsat is leveraging its unparalleled global orbital and spectrum rights, scale and partnerships to build the world’s first global 5G satellite-based software-defined network of networks,” stated Intelsat CEO, Stephen Spengler. “The Intelsat network will be capable of supporting virtually any access technology, enabling the next generation of global mobility, IoT and 5G services with never-before-seen combined simplicity, coverage, economics and performance.”
