Embraer has announced at the National Business Aviation Association's Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition (NBAA BACE) that it has completed the development of a new supplemental type certificate (STC) for the installation of Gogo Avance L5 on Phenom 300 and Phenom 300E aircraft. It is the newest and most advanced technology for 4G in-flight internet, with three times faster speed and seamless coverage in the United States, parts of Canada, and Alaska.

The STC was developed by the Embraer Engineering and Technology Center (EETC) in Melbourne, Florida, and it can be installed by any Embraer service centre worldwide.

The latest Gogo technology may either be a new installation or replace an existing ATG system. It operates over the Gogo Biz 4G network and delivers a "home like" experience for passengers who can now stream audio and video, in addition to the traditional moving maps and flight information.

“I am very excited to share this solution with our Phenom 300 and Phenom 300E customers,” said Johann Bordais, president and CEO of Embraer Services and Support. “Our mission is to make our customers even happier. Our teams are ready to receive customers and implement this solution with the state-of-the-art support, confidence and security that only the OEM can provide.”

This technology upgrade is one solution from an ample suite of services that Embraer offers or has under development to support the growing worldwide fleet of Embraer aircraft through TechCare, the new Embraer platform that assembles the entire portfolio of products and solutions to deliver the best services and support experience.
