Yes, the base-station (especially a wired ethernet version) could act as NTP grandmaster for time, and with a little further hardware support also do PTP.
Furthermore ,support of precise time sync is fundamental for services like Helium
Trilateration based positioning which has been discussed some.
The Helium receivers for trilateration should be aligned as tightly as possible as 1nS skew =
1 foot of accuracy.
Precise timing services is a very good additional opportunity for Geodnet to look into.
Thank you for the suggestion.
