h1. GNSS Research Research into satellite navigation, aka SatNav or Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and related technologies. Example systems: GNSS: GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou. h2. Assisted GNSS (A-GNSS) Also known as Assisted GPS (A-GPS). Greatly improves the Time To First Fix (TTFF) by downloading almanac and ephemeris data via mobile broadband or WiFi, instead of waiting for the slow download via the GNSS signal. h3. SUPL SUPL (Secure User Plane Location) is the most common protocol used to retrieve the current almanac and ephemeris data. There are no free software SUPL servers that we know off. Android uses Google's servers (@supl.google.com@) by default. Most carriers also default to @supl.google.com@ on their APN. GrapheneOS runs a proxy at @supl.grapheneos.org@. h3. PSDS PSDS (Predicted Satellite Data Service) is the generic name for a server that provides assistive data which enables the device to calculate a usually weekly forecast of satellite positions. It allows fast TTFF for the following days even without an internet connection. Service).
