L2 Aviation and Gotonomi Extend UAV Connectivity Beyond Cellular Reach
The Californer/10355358

ERLANGER, Ky. & CAMBRIDGE, U.K. & CINCINNATI - Californer -- L2 Aviation, a global provider of avionics integration, engineering, certification, manufacturing, and aircraft modification services, today announced a strategic partnership with Gotonomi to advance integrated satellite connectivity solutions for uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) and Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) operators throughout North America.

The partnership combines L2 Aviation's aviation integration and certification capabilities with Gotonomi's compact satellite communications technology. Together, the companies will help operators integrate reliable connectivity into UAV and AAM platforms operating in locations where cellular, Wi-Fi, and other terrestrial communications may be limited or unavailable.

ADVANCING CONNECTED UAV OPERATIONS

The planned solutions will use Gotonomi's lightweight UAV communications technology and access to Viasat's Velaris ecosystem, a satellite communications service developed for UAV and AAM operations.

L2 Aviation joined the Viasat Velaris ecosystem through Galaxy 1 Communications in May 2026, bringing nearly three decades of avionics integration, certification, and safety-critical aircraft modification experience to the growing uncrewed aviation market.

The partnership will support the integration of resilient connectivity for command and control, telemetry, operational information, and mission-critical data. L2 Aviation will provide the engineering, integration, installation, and certification support needed to incorporate Gotonomi technology into customer aircraft and operating platforms.

"UAV and Advanced Air Mobility platforms cannot reach their full operational potential when connectivity, aircraft integration, certification, and deployment are treated as separate challenges," said Tony Bailey, President and Chief Operating Officer of L2 Aviation. "This partnership brings those disciplines together through a complete, aircraft-level solution. Gotonomi's leading-edge satellite communications technology, Viasat's Velaris service, and L2 Aviation's engineering and certification capabilities create an integrated path from system architecture and installation through regulatory approval and operational deployment. The result addresses a critical industry need for reliable command and control, telemetry, and mission data connectivity, especially when aircraft operate beyond the reach of terrestrial networks."

The partnership creates a coordinated path for UAV manufacturers, operators, and mission-system providers seeking satellite-connected solutions that address aircraft integration, regulatory approval, and operational deployment.

"Energy and infrastructure operators increasingly need aircraft that can remain connected well beyond the reach of traditional communications networks," said Matthew Hill, General Manager at Gotonomi. "Combining Gotonomi's compact communications technology with L2 Aviation's integration and certification experience creates a compelling pathway for operators looking to scale UAV missions into more demanding environments."

EXPANDING UAV CAPABILITIES ACROSS THE ENERGY SECTOR

L2 Aviation sees significant opportunities for satellite-connected UAVs across multiple industries including energy, government, and others, where operators routinely inspect and service assets across large, remote, or difficult-to-access areas.

"Reliable connectivity is one of the fundamental requirements for expanding what unmanned aircraft can accomplish," said Jeff Rex, CRO of L2 Aviation "Our goal is to provide customers with more than another piece of hardware. L2 can take the connectivity technology, integrate it with mission-critical systems, address the certification and installation requirements, and deliver a complete solution that leverages the heritage of decades of experience with safety certified satellite networks."
