Having the device external to the building with a direct trusted connection to 
your network sounds awfully secure :P
Even if someone wanted to interfere or mock the GPS antenna signal the worst 
thing that’s gonna happen is NTP/PTP sync problems and your domain controller 
going “nope, no kerberos here”.
Having multiple redundant clock leaders with their own GPS antennas on 
different sides of the building stops that sort of attack pretty well.

Why run an antenna to the roof, when you can put the entire unit on the roof in 
a weatherproof enclosure? Then you only need to run Cat5e or better back down, 
which probably is already in place in most cases...

Saves time and worry dealing with weak GPS signals and suitable antennas/coax 
feeds... If you can't move the signal to the device, move the device to the 
signal!

Agreed. But lets be frank here. The antenna and cabling costs are likely to be 
orders of
magnitude more than the shield/hat cost.

I have absolutely no problem with that and have paid the price for other radio
technologies (such as adsb) and I may well pay the price to deploy Rob's 
excellent
shield. But I think ausnog members benefit from understanding the full BOM.
