If you’re curious about where the cell tower gets it’s time — the atomic clock in Colorado is the source.

The cell towers could also get their time source from their internet backbones as well, via NTP - it would certainly be cheaper than equipping each cell tower with a specialized WWVL receiver that feeds a digital time source into the tower (especially if the tower is hosting multiple cellular providers.)

That’s what your Windows boxes use to set their time - and adjust - automatically.
