Yeah, I spoke to my field guy, he said they took an SMB <-> N Connector
and ran LMR to the roof. Hope that helps.

It's an SMB connector, but again I find it really had to believe that
if you stick it outside until you get a good sync and power it down
that it won't resync indoors, I've never tried inside of a nuclear
bunker, but in normal houses and offices with tile and metal roofs I've
never had one issue.

Yeah. Something like that. All I recall is it was ~~ 1/4" or so in
diameter. Don't quote me on that. I am disavowing all knowledge.

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

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.
