Gogo Business Aviation introduced the ATG 1000 datacom system for light business jets, turboprops and owner-flown aircraft today at the 2015 AEA Convention. Shipments of the $35,000 (plus installation) systems are expected to begin this summer. Using the Gogo Biz air-to-ground network service, the ATG 1000 enables e-mail with attachments and calling and texting with passengers’ own smartphones and mobile numbers. Gogo Biz provides service coverage above 10,000 feet in the continental U.S., portions of Alaska and Canada.

The ATG 1000 is software-upgradable, allowing customers to add connectivity features, such as web browsing, by purchasing a software key. As many as five Wi-Fi devices can be simultaneously connected to the datacom system. In the future, the ATG 1000 is also expected to support select cockpit and operational applications.

In other news, the company also announced three new data plans. A multi-network data bundle offers a 20-percent monthly discount for customers who have Gogo Biz and SwiftBroadband data from Gogo. The company is also offering a Gogo Biz unlimited data plan for $3,995 per month, as well as a one gigabyte data plan for $1,895 per month for lighter users. In addition, multi-aircraft discounts are available for its Gogo Biz and SwiftBroadband data plans.
