You can be stratum 1 if you get your data from GPS, as is the author of the article. So if Google puts hardware with GPS receivers all over the world and routes

You can be stratum 1 if you get your data from GPS, as is the author of the article. So if Google puts hardware with GPS receivers all over the world and routes time.google.com to the nearest machine they have a stratum 1 service without having to put atomic clocks in every data center
- jeffbee 5y agoWell, they DO have atomic clocks in every datacenter, so that’s not the issue. But their service architecture just isn’t built to direct public user queries to exactly one unique machine in a datacenter, so I’m positive they are not doing exactly that. So I’m curious what they base their stratum claims on.
