Abstract
Methods and systems for global positioning navigate satellite system configuration of wireless communication applications may comprise in a wireless communication device (WCD) comprising a satellite positioning RF path, determining a location of the WCD utilizing LEO signals received by said satellite positioning RF path, establishing communications with a wireless access point based on the determined location, and configuring a wireless communication function of the WCD based on the determined location. The wireless communication function may comprise a power level of wireless local area network circuitry in the WCD, a point-of-sale transaction, or a synchronization of data on the WCD with one or more devices in a home location of the WCD. The determined location and a transaction ID for the point-of-sale transaction may be stored utilizing a security processor in the WCD. The satellite positioning RF path may be powered down based on the determined location.
