Mikrotik makes one. You do have to be in the same phase, keep that in mind.
In our case we've got a DC plan on the ground and just pay $18/mo for a Sprint data card. It's a lot easier than running cable up/down the building - at the very least we'd need a ~200 foot crane to be able to do it. Not for just monitoring some batteries!
