Gogo Business Aviation introduced here at EBACE two smart cabin systems for inflight entertainment and voice call services that can be personalized to passenger needs on a flight-by-flight basis. SCS (smart cabin systems) Elite and SCS Media lets passengers integrate their personal mix of technologies to create a “unique and ideal” cabin experience, according to Gogo.

“SCS can be installed on virtually any plane, big or small, flying anywhere around the globe, and we created it to be a simple, powerful way to integrate all the necessary technology onboard for an enjoyable passenger experience,” said Sergio Aguirre, senior v-p and general manager of Gogo Business Aviation. “Business travelers expect their aircraft cabin to feel like home and be a place where they can simply turn on their devices and do whatever they want, from seeing a moving map, to watching a movie, browsing the web, checking the news, or making a phone call.”

Passengers can use their personal devices to access and view content on both SCS offerings. The light and compact SCS Elite router can be installed on virtually any size business aircraft, and works across air-to-ground connectivity systems such as Gogo and satcom systems. SCS Elite supports and manages multiple data bearers, voice bearers and cabin management systems, according to Gogo, and it offers a single interface for easier control of the cabin environment. It features an advanced 802.11ac router for improved Wi-Fi performance (2.4GHz and 5.0 GHz), WAN management, and multi-bearer data and voice management.

SCS Media, also compact and lightweight, is a wireless infotainment system geared to light jet and turboprop operators, providing affordable stand-alone inflight maps and entertainment. An automated content delivery service for SCS Media is available through Gogo Cloud, ensuring passengers can always have access to refreshed news and entertainment selections.
