  As other have commented before, it looks you need an outdoor antenna, however, reading the specs it says:



“The built in high sensitivity GPS receiver is able to lock multiple satellites from within multiple buildings or 
from a window location, eliminating the requirement that an outdoor antenna be installed."

Why don’t data centers provide a GPS signal along with power and air conditioning?
Installing a distribution amplifier for 1.5 GHz is not rocket science.

(Or an Ethernet with IEEE1588 precise time, but that is probably asking too much.)
