SpaceX sees Starlink as a potential GPS alternative by leveraging its satellite constellation for Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) solutions.
SpaceX highlighted the capability of Starlink satellites to deliver PNT services in conjunction with broadband offerings in a letter to the FCC.
The company mentioned ongoing efforts to integrate PNT into its cellular Starlink service and emphasized the importance of creating a resilient PNT ecosystem.
Amazon's Kuiper satellites and Globalstar also pitched their services as GPS complements in response to SpaceX's advocacy for GPS alternatives.
