    <p>There is also interesting behavior. If you physically disconnect
      the Starlink GNSS receiver from the SoC, it still connects to the
      Starlink satellites, but it takes up to 20-25 minutes. It looks
      like there is some fallback mechanism, like RF sync on their own
      satellites. <br>
    </p>
    <p>But for normal operation, they use GNSS (GPS + Galileo) to set
      the system time faster.<br>
