Gogo SD Government Signs Eclipse as Authorized Reseller

Eclipse Global Connectivity is now an authorized reseller for Gogo’s SD Government division. Under the reseller agreement, Eclipse will be able to deliver Gogo Galileo low-earth-orbit (LEO) satcom systems to its French and EMEA military and government VIP transport customers.

Gogo Galileo runs on Eutelsat’s OneWeb LEO constellation, and three antenna and terminal products are available from Eclipse: the HDX and FDX, with electronically steered antennas and terminals manufactured by Hughes Network Systems, and the FDX-r, using Gilat’s ESR2030 antenna and terminal. Eclipse can also sell Gogo’s suite of cabin networking equipment and Galileo Government airtime plans.

For installation of the Galileo system, Eclipse will propose and develop supplemental type certificate upgrades for various crewed and uncrewed aircraft types.

“At a time when the market is moving towards LEO solutions, becoming a Gogo authorized dealer will help us offer even more solutions to our French and EMEA-based clients, equipping them with additional ways to increase their ability to achieve mission success,” said Eclipse CEO Marc Pinault. “Our mission is to deliver secure, future-ready solutions that effectively meet our clients’ needs, and this partnership gives us even greater flexibility to do just that.”

“The capabilities we’ve developed for the business aviation market through our OneWeb LEO network translate directly into the government domain and are available today,” said Jason Sperry, head of business and government aviation at Eutelsat. “Our LEO connectivity already meets the key criteria for secure, resilient, high-speed, and low-latency communications, capabilities that governments require now.”
