Textron Aviation announced the availability of Gogo 5G, a new connectivity upgrade that gives Citation operators faster speeds, lower latency and improved WiFi performance in the cabin. The aftermarket solution is now offered for the Cessna Citation Longitude, X+, X, Sovereign+, Sovereign, Latitude, XLS Gen2, XLS+, XLS and Excel, following the issuance of FAA Supplemental Type Certificate. Customers can install a new AVANCE Gogo 5G system or upgrade their existing AVANCE system to include 5G capabilities at a domestic Textron Aviation Service Center.

Brian Rohloff, senior vice president, Customer Support commented: “Reliable, high-speed connectivity is essential for today’s operators, whether they’re conducting business in flight or supporting passengers who expect a seamless digital experience. Expanding 5G capability across our fleet reinforces our commitment to investing in technologies that elevate the ownership experience and ensure our aircraft remain leading tools for business and travel.”

In response to customer feedback, Textron Aviation will soon expand Gogo 5G availability to the Cessna Citation CJ4, CJ3+ and CJ3, pending issuance of FAA STC. The Gogo 5G system, designed specifically for business aviation, enables seamless streaming, video conferencing, cloud-based applications and support for multiple connected devices throughout the cabin. Its advanced dual band router improves cabin WiFi performance, while dynamic data management tools optimize bandwidth to deliver a consistent, high quality user experience.
