You can automatically retrieve the device time via GPS as an alternative to an NTP server. The prerequisites for retrieving the device time via GPS are:
- The operating mode of the cellular modem is set to WWAN
- The GPS module is enabled
- The retrieval method for the device time is set to GPS
You can find the current GPS time in LANmonitor (Displaying GPS Time) or in the device’s status section.
Note: This function is only available on devices with an internal WWAN module. Please check the technical specifications of
your model to determine whether your device supports this function.
Important: The time is only available once the device has successfully obtained a "GPS fix". This requires receiving
signals from at least 4 satellites with sufficient quality.
Important: The time received via GPS may differ by a few seconds from the actual time due to propagation delays.
