Gogo provides service to more than 1,300 commercial aircraft within the continental U.S and Alaska.

   XipLink said its technology aims to help Gogo manage bandwidth between its two modems and to provide an optimal Internet access experience while maintaining control over bandwidth costs. The new capabilities also will offer Gogo access to hybrid network acceleration, allowing aircraft to utilize Gogo’s Air-to-Ground network in North America while switching to satellite connections when leaving the air-to-ground coverage area.

   Gogo also intends to leverage three XipLink capabilities: Xiplink Embedded (XE), a virtual machine deployment for an aircraft data controller; hybrid load balancing support; and connection redundancy.

   “For the Gogo deployment, our joint teams came together quickly to understand existing capabilities and tightly define the new requirements in a short time window,” XipLink CEO Jack Waters said in a statement. “As it turns out, XipLink’s roadmap included many of the specific requirements and Gogo added unique understanding that results in increased Internet access capacity for aircraft passengers.”
