Sure. They have a BITS service. I'm just checking out all of my options. It'd be nice to have my own stuff, but that may not be feasible (or possible once CDMA goes away).
Are any of you coloed with Frontier? Have you gotten them to let you install a GPS antenna? ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: ke...@contoocook.net To: "Karsten Elfenbein" <karsten.elfenb...@gmail.com>, "Mike Hammett" <na...@ics-il.net> Cc: "NANOG" <nanog@nanog.org> Sent: Thursday, July 11, 2019 3:49:35 PM Subject: Re: Time and Timing Servers I know that many places hosting telecom gear provide "BITS Clock" this is a DS1 with timing. Ask about that, it's an alternative to providing your own. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Karsten Elfenbein" <karsten.elfenb...@gmail.com> To: "Mike Hammett" <na...@ics-il.net> Sent: Thursday, July 11 2019 03:22:01 PM Subject: Re: Time and Timing Servers I think you are referencing their chip scale atomic clocks. Which are very frequency stable. But still need phase alignment. (Mobile UPS anyone?) Maybe some peers can provide transparent or boundry clock support. Or someone close by in the DC can add an antenna splitter. Karsten Mike Hammett < na...@ics-il.net > s chrieb am Do., 11. Juli 2019, 16:31: There were a lot of NTP threads several weeks ago, but I didn't get an answer to my question amongst all of the other chatter. I'm looking for a device that can receive GPS inside a building without the assistance of an external antenna (Frontier says they no longer allow external antenna), will provide traditional NTP services, and will provide a timing signal that my Metaswitch can work with. I know that MicroSemi via Symmetricom makes these kinds of devices, but I'm hoping to look at multiple manufacturers and compare. Thanks. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP
