We've looked at Cisco routers that support 4G cards, but haven't had good success in testing those.
Verizon sent us to look at: http://www.cradlepoint.com/ This would just give you an Ethernet hand-off to whatever router you wanted to use (and they can probably act as the router). One thing to watch is the MTU on your interfaces. The Cradlepoint just drops the connection if you use a higher MTU than the device/cell connection supports. If I remember right, setting the MTU on the Cradlepoint ethernet port also sets it on the cell interface (for the model we tested). Nathan Hay Network Engineer | NOC WinWholesale Inc.

Users at the site want to explore using some kind of 4G device as an uplink. This needs to be coupled with using one of the Cisco OfficeExtend APs as well per the local tech support staff. Anyone out there have any good recommendations for a 4G device to fit this bill?
