This will *not* work if the antenna is placed *inside* the datacenter.

The trick is to order a spot on the roof of the datacenter, have the
facility staff place the antenna there, and run a cable to the NTP
server in your rack.

It'll depend on the facility what the MRC / NRC is for this service will
be.

Kind regards,
