In-flight connectivity pioneer Gogo announced today that they had been issued permission from Industry Canada to provide in-flight WiFi for business and commercial flights over Canadian soil. The permission came by way of a subordinate license for air-to-ground (ATG) radio frequency spectrum, the same frequency they operate on in America. That makes cross-border service absolutely seamless.
The good people at Engadget have shared the Gogo Press Release. According to the presser, Gogo plans to begin their cell site construction in Q4 of this year in order to be up and running by the end of 2013. The license agreement is a subordinate to a 2006 spectrum license the company acquired by way of auction.
The focus will initially be on bringing connectivity to routes serviced by current commercial airline partners. Business clients using Aircell’s Gogo Biz internet service will also receive high speed internet service. The service will be the same that has been offered in the US for the past 4 years.
According to Mobile Syrup, pricing currently stands between $13 for 24 consecutive hours and $40 for 30 days. Gogo offers mobile apps for iOS devices, Android and BlackBerry.
