AVANCE Software Update 7.0

Please Review the Upgrade Options Below

Thank you for being a valued Gogo customer. AVANCE software version 7.0 is now available and there are multiple ways to update your software, including the new Gogo Tech Pubs download website or remotely using AVANCE over-the-air (OTA) in Gogo DASH. For the best OTA experience, we recommend using a Gogo Cloudport.

Software updates using OTA:

  • OTA is available to all AVANCE customers via Gogo DASH, using Gogo Cloud and Terrestrial Modem (TM).
  • For the best customer experience, we recommend using a Gogo Cloudport. A Gogo Cloudport is included at no charge if you have a Vision or SmartShield subscription.
  • AVANCE hardware must currently be on 4.3.1 or later to use OTA.

Software updates using the Gogo Tech Pubs website:

  • The software download site is now available for all versions 4.3 and up and can be accessed via the Gogo Tech Pubs website.
    • Log in to Gogo TechPubs (contact Jay York if you need access to Gogo Tech Pubs at jyork@gogoair.com).
    • For the AVANCE L5/L3 Service Bulletin, select Resources, then scroll down to Files for Customer Downloading or search for document number D34119-017
    • For the AVANCE SCS Service Bulletin, select Resources, then scroll down to Files for Customer Downloading or search for document number D28929-017
    • Access the Notice of Change (NOC), document number D37589
  • Note: You may encounter an error message when loading AVANCE software. For more information, please review the Service Bulletin in Tech Pubs here.

If you don't have access to OTA or the Tech Pubs website, you can still complete your upgrade* using an authorized dealer or you can manage the upgrade yourself if you have in-house expertise.
