Anyone have recommendations on NTP appliances; i.e. make, model, gps vs cell, etc.? Roof/outdoor/window access not available. Would ideally need to be able to handle bursts of up to a few thousand simultaneous queries. Needs IPv6 support.
For some diversity you could try: - WWVB/CHU radio with a good indoor antenna into an appliance - CDMA, which yes is based on GPS, but tied with Rb oscillator can carry over any reception outages (CDMA or GPS) - Of course just setup an NTP server that peers to pool.ntp.org (but perphaps the least desirable) I've seen good results using the Endrun CDMA units as well as the WWVB units, both appliances and IPv6-enabled. Symmetricom does this too. wfms
