- Intelsat (I +1%) has signed up in-flight connectivity provider Gogo (GOGO -0.8%) for service on the Intelsat 29e satellite, the companies said today.
- The move should allow Gogo to offer improved Wi-Fi for passengers as it taps high-throughput service from Intelsat's first "Epic" network satellite.
- Intelsat 29e will provide bridge service until Intelsat 32e becomes operational next year. Overall, coverage from Intelsat will include connectivity provided by Intelsat 32e, Intelsat 33e and Horizons 3e.
