You have just recited most of timing.com's sales pitch for their
Telco-grade Cesium units, the last bit is
"Buy this box for $lot_less, mount it, fire it up, see the
green light turn on, put a mark in your calendar 10 years
on when the warranty expires."
It is a sad testimony to modern civilization that this works so well.
