Out of curiousity, whilst I doubt Amazon will deliver you one tomorrow, 
is a GPS an option to get a time fix?  I presume you are stuck with 
fairly low speed satellite connections with large latencies, so kind of 
surprised that you can get decently accurate internet ntp updates?

Out of curiousity, apart from Iridium, how else are you getting internet 
down there?
