The Weather Company, Gogo ink real-time data delivery agreement

The Weather Company, an IBM Business, has inked a deal with Gogo Business Aviation, that will enable the delivery of real-time turbulence reports and alerts directly to pilots, dispatch and other operations personnel.

Gogo will be implementing Weather’s patented Turbulence Auto PIREP System (TAPS), a turbulence detection algorithm, on their aircraft-based communications server, which provides access to data generated by the aircraft to create reports of turbulence intensity. Gogo’s US-based air-to-ground and global satellite communication network will be used to send reports for immediate action in flight operations and weather forecasting.
