[time-nuts] Another Trimble Thunderbolt-like GPS?

[lists at lazygranch.com]

I was inside a AT$T shack about a month ago. They have GPS timing inside.  I took some photographs, so I will dig up later what timing they use.

I think it was actually Qualcomm.  The requirement for GPS time and 10 microsecond
time synchronization (which informs the holdover spec) came from Qualcomm's CDMA
specification and are unique to it.  GSM, UMTS and (I think) LTE base stations can
get by without GPS at all.
