SpaceX is advocating for Starlink to deliver positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) services in addition to its existing broadband services, as per a report in Teslarati. This initiative aligns with the FCC’s efforts to explore alternative PNT technologies to enhance resilience and security, given the vulnerabilities of GPS to jamming and spoofing, which pose risks to critical infrastructure and national security. Starlink’s potential as a GPS alternative could provide SpaceX with a new revenue stream and diversify its business, while also introducing competition in the PNT market.
