For applications that require accurate UTC timing, the options are pretty limited. Yes, GPS provides timing, but it has its vulnerabilities. Iridium STL is the only other option with global coverage, but it has its drawbacks, too, as it’s restricted to L1 and can’t be leveraged for every application.
