The Verizon cell extender (made by Samsung) has a little connector
(don't recall the type, but it's about the size of MCM or so). Put a
wire on the end of the coax, and you're there.

How did you get a GPS antenna from the roof to the SCS box?

Verizon's Samsung SCS series 3G and 4G Network Extender is what I
was dealing with. We had to run our own GPS antenna from the roof
down to the basement to get the damn thing to sync properly.
As an aside, I didn't realize the Low E windows were code now, and
this is a very newly renovated building. Will keep that in mind!

Pull out a GPS App on your phone and make sure you can
actually read the satellites from behind the window (I
used 'GPS Test' on Android). We had to install one of
these boosters and were troubleshooting why the damn thing
wasn't working when I noticed that my phone GPS receiver
was working in rooms where the windows were open and not
working in rooms where the windows were closed. Building
management didn't even know they'd purchased the windows
with RF film.

It might not be just a matter of getting the location. If
they use the 1pps clock from GPS to calibrate an
oscillator before they start transmitting, then it would
legitimately take 20-30 minutes.
Telrad BTS's are like that too. Pisses me off if I ever
have to reset the power.

Modern GPS receivers work surprisingly well, if not
very accurately, from inside a single floor wood
framed house... My oneplus one will pick up 6
satellites while standing in a central hallway 15'+
from any window. Should be accurate enough to get a
location within 75'.
All bets are off if it is a concrete framed
apartment building or something like that.
I still find it amazing that anything works at -162
RSL. Thanks to tiny channel size and very basic
modulation.

Canopy NAT seems to break it with regularity. It
might also fail if the GPS location that it
reports is not within a 1/4 mile of where the
customer address is.
Also requires enough GPS (like near a window) to
get a GPS lock.
