What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-10-21

Track; not yet

Why
Six production satellites are now in orbit, backed by FCC conditional authorization and Pulsar-0 field data, but service is not before mid-2027, coverage is only a short daily window, and the headline centimeter, anti-jamming and anti-spoofing claims come from the vendor with no independent measurement. A fast-growing but still unproven complement to GPS.
Next
Watch for first-signal and deployment confirmation of the six satellites, independent accuracy and anti-spoofing tests on production satellites, and the first beta customer results (TimeBeat, Furuno) in 2027.
