1 April 2025 - Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. developed the STC at its Savannah, Georgia, headquarters in collaboration with Gogo. This adds to the existing Plane Simple Ka-band STCs already available on Gulfstream G650 and Gulfstream G650ER aircraft.

The terminal optimizes the SD Modem Unit (SMU), which is integrated with the SD Gateway Router, to distribute high-speed broadband to passenger and crew devices. Work continues on an aftermarket STC for Gulfstream G500 and Gulfstream G600 models, with completion expected later in the year.
