Gogo Business Aviation has released over-the-air (OTA) software updates for its Gogo Avance platform.

Customers can update their Avance system software remotely through Gogo DASH, an app-based tool kit exclusively available to Avance customers, eliminating the need for additional downtime to perform manual software updates.

With the introduction of OTA, Avance software updates can now be deployed without physically touching the aircraft, significantly reducing the time required for important software updates and vastly improving the efficiency and management of upgrading large fleets.

"This industry-first capability for connectivity systems demonstrates our deep understanding of business aviation and the maintenance required of aviation-grade technology," says president and COO Sergio Aguirre. "OTA software updates can be done completely hands-free, saving our customers time and money, and ensuring that they have the latest Avance features and functionality."

OTA software updates can be achieved using a Cloudport connection via Gogo's secure digital content delivery network, Gogo Cloud or via Terrestrial Modem. After 31 December, 2024, OTA will be available to all Avance customers exclusively through the Gogo Cloud network.

The process for executing OTA software updates is the same via Cloudport and TM. Current Avance customers can reference a step-by-step video on the Gogo website for more information on using the Gogo DASH Equipment Maintenance app to upgrade their Avance platform software over-the-air, or can contact Gogo's connectivity experts directly.
