Farcast Receives Strategic Equity Investment From Gogo To Evolve New Class Of Aviation User Terminals For Gogo Customers

Farcast, a San Francisco-based startup building advanced satellite user terminals, announces that it has received strategic equity investment from Gogo (NASDAQ:GOGO), a leading in-flight communications provider for business, military, and government aviation, to evolve a new class of aviation user terminals for Gogo customers.

The investment will support the development of core technology needed for new antennas to support optimized cabin connectivity, expanding crew and passenger use cases. Farcast's single-aperture, full-duplex flat panel antenna, FPA, will deliver reduced size, weight, power, and cost, SWaP-C, for operators while simultaneously increasing bandwidth. Installation of the compact terminal on existing aircraft real estate will also extend connectivity reach for more aircraft categories.
