GPS is one specific satellite navigation system, while GNSS is the general term for all global navigation satellite systems. GNSS can include GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou and other systems. For time synchronization, GNSS can improve availability because the receiver may use signals from more than one satellite constellation.
A time server does not always need GPS or GNSS, but GNSS is commonly used when an independent and highly accurate external time source is required. A GNSS-based time server can provide time to a local network without relying on public internet time sources.
If the GNSS signal is lost, a time server can continue operating in holdover mode. During holdover, the internal oscillator maintains the time as accurately as possible until the external signal is available again.
