We use Raritan console devices in NJR2 and I couldn't be happier. They allow you to have to connections. We have a VPN device that is connected to our wan switches and then we have Verizon LTE as a backup. When we first went with T-Mobile we had problems with the connectivity (see https://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nanog/2019-January/098723.html). We then moved over to Verizon where the signal was strong but we had issues with the MTU issues (see https://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nanog/2019-June/101576.html). I ended up adding a rule to the raritan to lower the PDU and that allowed connectivity via the cellular network. I used the cellular modem that raritan recommended although I probably could have gone with something cheaper like the MikroTik LtAP.
