<p class="MsoNormal">One of my hats is to design/manufacture/sell GPS third party timing receivers for Cambium Radios. It seems like something happened around 2PM MST today which caused (at a minimum) certain Globaltop/Sierra Wireless GPS modules to quit
receiving signals from the GPS constellations. Because these modules are pretty well respected as far as the quality of the timing signal (normally) and relative low cost, they tend to be integrated in a lot of devices, including my products, the official
Cambium Products, and I understand the gear from other manufacturers. <o:p></o:p></p>

There’s a fair amount of hardware that uses GPS sync for wireless and I’m guessing this is likely a vendor bug w/ UBNT hardware, but it’s also good to know if it’s broader than that.<br>
<br>
I know there’s some interesting java bugs related to the switchover for 2020 as well, eg:<br>
