You can easily wire it to another detector. Configure the other NTP to accept a PPS signal just like the first and it'll work. As for the NMEA data, I'd be inclined to distribute it in standard NTP format - just configure the stratum 1 server as a server in that other NTP server. It needs to be certain about its second boundaries to use its PPS source, but that doesn't need to come (directly) from a hardware reference clock.
