A place I worked at developed a Linux driver for the Sierra card (I know the
programmer let me know if you need it) that might work with mikrotik probably
better chances paying a pfsense bounty on the pfsense forum to get it working—

I built a Mikrotik cellular 3G/4G/LTE device last year and the Mini-pcie card
that I used was the Sierra Wireless AirPrime MC7700. At the time with ROS 5.x
the drivers sucked bad and wouldn’t stay connected. This week I pulled it
back out and installed ROS 6.13 and so far it has worked good. Unfortunately
I’m in an area with ATT “4G” and our throughput kinda sucks. I’m going to
take it with me to OKC next time I run up there and see how it works on the
LTE up there.

I wouldn't recommend a mikrotik for this as they have horrible cellular modem
support. If you even find one that is compatible it likely has bugs where 3g
might work but 4g doesn't. Cellular is damn expensive but might be doable in
this case. The plan with baltic is sprint only and is a true backup plan with
low monthly costs but high data cost per MB so I would go with a standard
verizon plan and maybe get a refurb cradlepoint MBR1000 on ebay, I have one
and it works great. I'm a 100% mikrotik network as a wisp but can't recomend
for cellular

The Cell data Rate plans can get expensive if that is not an issue, yes
this will work.
However you can also consider building them a small network using 900mhz eg
to view the camera or tie this to their existing internet (home or nearby) .
Just a thought.

Subject: [WISPA] 4g router device
A while back in Vegas Baltic Networks had a mikrotik router that operated on
Verizon or Sprint. We were told it could be used for a back up at a remote
site if you lost standard access through your regular network. In the past
week I have had 2 ranchers hit me for a solution where they could check their
water tanks with camera. The ranch property is leased ground so there is no
standard wireline or wisp in the area and is way out of our service area.
Has anyone done anything similar to this? From what we gathered it would use
an existing cell plan for the data usage. I also heard that it could be used
on Verizon Sprint, but ATT may be an issue. These places all have power at
the tank/pumps, so we were just thinking a ubnt camera and this device, maybe
a small battery backup, but we were just unsure if the router was a viable
product for this application
Thanks
