There are a number of models similar to this, they generally go under the name of 'fixed cellular terminals.'
Most of the gsm cell manufacturers make them... for example, nokia makes the noia 22 and 32 models (the 22 is hard to get now) Eurotech have some cheap models using wavecom gsm modules, badged under the winner range, and Burnside make nice units using Siemens TC35 modules. I'm located in UK and IReland currently and can source these locally to me, however I'd guess that delivery to anywhere outside europe would be expensive.
