LEO-based PNT is the future of navigation. More satellites, significantly stronger signals, and much greater resistance to spoofing. Players in this field already exist, such as Iridium, with more to come. Starlink's navigation capabilities have evolved remarkably quickly, moving from a gimmick to a genuinely useful feature. Yet most Starlink terminals still rely on a GPS receiver for in-motion operation. Take the new V5 terminal, for example. The stationary consumer version lacks a GPS chip, but the REV5_AUTO variant (used in the Cybercab) brings back the good old STA8089, sacrificing a few phased-array antenna elements to make room for it. The Starshield version of the Mini goes even further, featuring a TESEO-V GNSS receiver. The reason is simple: in some cases, proven hardware still beats a purely software-based approach. Starlink calculates its position during gaps in TDMA frames. It's essentially a side job for the terminal's firmware. It works incredibly well these days. I'd love to see a dedicated ASIC for Starlink PNT. That could be a game changer.
