Gregory Polek has spent his entire career in aviation journalism with AIN, starting as a proofreader and assistant to then-managing editor Mary Mahoney in 1995 after serving an internship with&nbsp;New Jersey Monthly&nbsp;magazine and completing his B.A. degree in English/Writing at New Jersey’s William Paterson College. By 1997 Polek accepted a position as an associate editor, covering the regional airline beat for&nbsp;Aviation International News&nbsp;in place of retiring industry veteran Don Anderson. The assignment took Polek across North America and Europe to profile regional airlines varying in size and mission from the likes of floatplane operators Kenmore Air and Chalk’s Ocean Airways to regional jet operators such as SkyWest and American Eagle. Today, in his dual role as Air Transport Editor and International Airshow Editor, Polek writes, edits, and manages AIN’s commercial aviation content while overseeing each of the company’s daily international air show publications in Paris, Farnborough, Singapore, and Dubai. Most recently Polek has assumed oversight of daily coverage of the Helicopter Association International’s annual Heli-Expo convention.

Gogo Business Aviation is a provider of in-flight broadband Internet service and other connectivity services for business aircraft.

Gogo Business Aviation's Avance L5 system with Gogo 5G provisioning is now available at Dassault Falcon Jet service centers for several Falcon business jet models, GoGo said today. Of the more than 2,000 Falcons in service, 500 are equipped with Avance L5, giving them an upgrade path to Gogo's 5G high-speed airborne connectivity.&nbsp;Dassault is developing Gogo 5G Avance LX5 supplemental type certificates (STCs) for Falcon installations.
“Gogo 5G was designed with our customers in mind to deliver high throughput with low latency, addressing the increased demand for data-heavy services and applications,” said Gogo v-p of aftermarket sales Dave Salvador. “Dassault’s investment in Gogo 5G provisions and STC development is a critical component in bringing this game-changing network technology to the market.”&nbsp;
Customers who choose to upgrade to Avance L5 will experience an immediate performance boost, said Gogo. For the 5G provisioning, technicians will install a Gogo Avance L5 system and two belly-mounted multiband antennas. The system will operate on the Gogo Biz 4G network until the Avance LX5 single-box LRU—equipped for Gogo 5G connectivity—becomes available for installation during the middle of next year.
Gogo is offering savings of up to $50,000 for customers wanting to upgrade or install Avance L5 now in preparation for Avance LX5 and Gogo 5G availability in mid-2024.&nbsp;
