    You'll want to look into reserving some Rooftop Space at one of our IBXs.

    Rooftop Space reserves a portion of the data center roof where you can install (or Equinix can install on your behalf) a platform to support your antenna needs for timing services (GPS) or direct communication (microwave).

    Note:

    • The platform is not included with Rooftop Space.

    • Interconnection between your Rooftop Space and your Data Hall is through a customer-installed custom cable connection.

    here are a few resources to get you started:
