Gogo builds in-flight 5G network

In-flight Wi-Fi provider Gogo is building a 5G network across the US and Canada, giving passengers access to faster speeds and lower latency connectivity while in the air.

Gogo will upgrade its existing Air-to-Ground (ATG) network, which comprises more than 250 towers across North America, and use unlicensed spectrum in the 2.4GHz band. The company will also use a proprietary modem and beamforming technology to improve the quality of the signal.

ATG networks offer a number of advantages over in-flight satellite technology, including lower operational costs and lower latency.

Gogo says its 5G network will support licenced, shared, and unlicensed spectrum in all bands used for 5G services. This is essential for a service that will attract users from around the world as the first European 5G networks will use sub-6GHz spectrum while the first US 5G networks will use millimetre-wave (mmWave) frequencies.

The company will continue top operate its 3G and 4G networks in North America in order to provide a backup service and says the 5G network can be upgraded with future technologies as and when they become available.

"We expect to launch Gogo 5G at the same time as the terrestrial telecommunications companies are deploying the same generation of technology on the ground – a first in the inflight connectivity industry," said Oakleigh Thorne, CEO of Gogo.

"Gogo 5G is the next step in our technology evolution and is expected to deliver an unparalleled user experience, pairing high performance with low latency and network-wide redundancy."

Gogo also operates a satellite broadband service for carriers outside North America. It says its ‘2Ku’ system is a key differentiator in the race to connect the world’s skies, as its antenna can swing round to find the best signal. It says new satellite technologies are a far cry from traditional setups, which are characterised by slow speeds and high latency.

What Is the “System Volume Information” Folder, and Can I Delete It?

What Is the “System Volume Information” Folder, and Can I Delete It? On every Windows drive—even external USB drives—you’ll find a “System Volume Information” folder. You’ll only see it if you have Windows set to  show hidden files and folders , but it’s always there. So what is it for? Why Can’t I Open the Folder? On drives formatted with  the NTFS file system , this folder’s permissions are set to prevent everyone from accessing the folder, even users with Administrator permissions. Double-click the folder and you’ll see an error message saying the “location is not available” and “access is denied.” This is normal. That’s because Windows uses this folder for certain system-level features. The permissions are set to prevent users—and programs without the appropriate permissions—from tampering with the files inside and interfering with important system functions. What Is It For? Among other things, Windows stores  System Restore ...

With no good Black Friday iPad deals, it's time to turn to the Android side , DigiTech Geeks Mobile Computing News

With no good Black Friday iPad deals, it's time to turn to the Android side The Black Friday iPad deals are never any good, but in 2021 they've somehow failed to clear that laughably low bar, and we've still been surprised by just how poor the Apple-tablet discounts are this year. Seriously – we're talking just $50 / £50 off super-power iPad Pros , and sometimes no discounts at all on entry-level or Mini tablets – and this outlook very likely won't change for the Cyber Monday iPad deals . If you were wanting to buy a new iPad in the Black Friday sales, it might seem like you're plum out of luck. (Not in the US or UK? Scroll down for deals in your region). It's not all bad news though, not as long as you're willing to try new things (and aren't committed to the Apple ecosystem already). That's because there are a few worthy tablet Black Friday deals on Android slates that make them much, much more tempting than an iPad. Sure, sure, sure: i...
