Our Disciplines

CONNECTED AIRCRAFT. CERTIFIED SOLUTIONS.

Today’s business aviation passengers expect more than Wi-Fi. They expect a seamless digital experience — from high-speed internet and video conferencing to streaming, cloud applications and connected cabin services.

At QCM, we help aircraft owners, operators and MROs bring modern connectivity solutions on board — from system selection and aircraft integration through engineering, certification and STC approval.

Whether you are upgrading an existing installation or introducing next-generation connectivity, QCM can help you find the right solution for your aircraft.

NEXT-GENERATION CONNECTIVITY FOR BUSINESS AVIATION

Gogo Galileo

Gogo Galileo brings high-speed, low-latency broadband connectivity to business aircraft through the Eutelsat OneWeb Low-Earth-Orbit (LEO) satellite network.

Designed specifically for business aviation, Gogo Galileo provides a future-ready connectivity platform for aircraft of different sizes and configurations.

With a single LEO antenna and compatible onboard equipment, aircraft can benefit from:

• High-speed broadband connectivity
• Low-latency performance
• Global satellite coverage
• Consistent connectivity from taxi to touchdown
• Seamless video conferencing, streaming and Wi-Fi calling
• A future-ready architecture designed to evolve with changing network technology

Gogo Galileo is available in two antenna configurations — HDX and FDX — allowing the solution to be matched to the aircraft and the connectivity requirements.

GOGO GALILEO HDX

High-speed connectivity for your aircraft

The Gogo Galileo HDX solution delivers reliable, high-speed LEO connectivity in a compact and efficient configuration.

Up to 60 Mbps download / 11 Mbps upload

The HDX antenna assembly integrates the antenna, modem, power supply, GPS and radome into a single aircraft-mounted unit.

Key benefits

• High-speed broadband connectivity
• Low latency
• Global LEO satellite coverage
• Consistent performance throughout the flight
• Ideal for video conferencing, streaming, Wi-Fi calling and other connected services
• Designed for future network evolution

QCM STC AVAILABLE

QCM Design has developed and received EASA STC approval for the installation of the Gogo Galileo HDX antenna on Bombardier Global Series aircraft.

This provides operators with a certified pathway to bring next-generation LEO connectivity to their aircraft.

GOGO GALILEO FDX

Maximum performance. Global connectivity.

For aircraft requiring even greater bandwidth, Gogo Galileo FDX provides enhanced connectivity performance through a larger electronically steered antenna solution.

Up to 195 Mbps download / 32 Mbps upload

The FDX antenna assembly integrates the antenna, modem, power supply, GPS and radome into one aircraft-mounted unit.

Key benefits

• Very high-speed broadband connectivity
• Low latency
• Global LEO satellite coverage
• Consistent connectivity throughout the flight
• Excellent support for high-bandwidth applications
• Video conferencing and live streaming
• Wi-Fi calling and other connected services
• Future-ready architecture

QCM — YOUR CONNECTIVITY CERTIFICATION PARTNER

Installing a modern connectivity system on an aircraft is more than installing an antenna.

It can involve structural integration, electrical systems, avionics, cabin systems, antenna positioning, electromagnetic compatibility, aircraft-specific interfaces and, most importantly, regulatory approval.

As an EASA Part-21J Design Organisation, QCM can support the complete engineering and certification process.

OUR SUPPORT CAN INCLUDE:

01 — SYSTEM SELECTION
Understanding your aircraft, operation and connectivity requirements.

02 — ENGINEERING & INTEGRATION
Aircraft-specific design and integration of the selected connectivity solution.

03 — STRUCTURAL & ELECTRICAL DESIGN
Including antenna installation and associated aircraft modifications.

04 — CERTIFICATION
Development and approval of the required design data and certification documentation.

05 — STC / MODIFICATION APPROVAL
Providing a compliant certification pathway for the aircraft modification.

06 — COORDINATION
Working together with aircraft operators, MROs, equipment manufacturers and installation partners.

MORE THAN GOGO

The right connectivity solution for your aircraft

Gogo Galileo is one of the solutions we can support — but it is not the only option.

Depending on your aircraft, mission profile, existing equipment, required coverage and passenger experience, other connectivity solutions may be more appropriate.

QCM can support installations and certification of other market solutions, including Collins Certus, as well as tailor-made connectivity configurations.

Our approach is simple:

We don’t sell you a system. We help you find the right solution for your aircraft.
