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.

But for normal operation, they use GNSS (GPS + Galileo) to set the system time faster.

I can confirm that spoofing with “non-milspec” methods don’t seem to work against the receiver in the Starlink terminal. I tried with a HackRF and a USRP and it didn’t work, while an Android phone was spoofed fine. I was however able to jam the receiver with very moderate power levels and a sweep generated with a HackRF Portapack and patch antenna.

Best,

    Hi,

    Starlink has a multisystem GNSS receiver with data filtering, so it
    can't be fooled with the single HackRF (i tested it).


Here they describe another method with gps jammers:

    I experimented with NMEA data injected directly into the Dishy
    operating
    system, so I can tell there is no way to cheat the system.
    Satellites know your location a wouldn't accept a connection from the
    client in an unexpected Cell. All connection slots for all
    clients and
    areas are scheduled.

    Besides this, Starlink requires valid and strict GNSS and 1PPS to
    sync
    the local clock, that's vital for the TDD system.
