Just days after American Airlines dropped its lawsuit accusing GoGo of providing unacceptably slow service, the in-flight WiFi provider said it would upgrade its systems to offer faster connections for customers flying with its contracted airlines. GoGo announced plans to upgrade the satellite modem used with its 2Ku and Ku satellite technologies to increase service to Internet users on planes. The company believes that the new modem, which is expected to be available in commercial planes sometime in 2017, will significantly increase Internet speeds up to 400 Mbps, which would support a range of streaming options. The company likened the revamp to something customers might do themselves in their home or office. “You can make improvements to the amount of bandwidth delivered, but if the modem can’t support that bandwidth, you can create a choke point in the network,” Anand Chari, Gogo’s chief technology officer, said in a statement.
