Solutions & Benefits To meet the requirements, Airspan antennas are installed to support Massive MIMO, a wireless communication technology that uses very large antennas to increase transmission gain and spectral efficiency. Test procedures are discussed below:
• Installation of the first two 5G antennas from Airspan on a tower. Plans call for Gogo to conduct prototype testing of system performance.
• Completion of coast-to-coast flight testing by Gogo of its 5G bellymounted antennas to validate their performance.
• Interoperability testing using Gogo SIM cards connected to the Gogo 5G core network. Gogo said it continues to work with Airspan and other technology partners to test and build out its nationwide Air-To-Ground (ATG) network. Gogo
