Both.

If you're looking for some kind of actual out of band (for disaster recovery 
scenarios), Satellite is an excellent option. If you just need 100-200kbps for 
basic console access, you could absolutely accomplish this with satellite. The 
only real difference between Satellite and Cellular is, if there is any real 
power at the facility Satellite will be online — I don't think we can say the 
same for cellular BTS's. Every Cellular installation I have done (over 300) has 
had a single feed to primary power. Power goes out across several blocks and 
suddenly the BTS's that are outside of that area are saturated with additional 
handset registrations. If it were me, I would not rely on 3G/4G for anything 
that had actual ramifications behind it. If you've got a killer SLA with your 
customers, the funds to deploy a VSAT solution are minimal at best. 1mbps/1mbps 
with no SLA across satellite is in the hundreds of dollars per month, and you 
get a VLAN piped straight back into your gear at your offices.

For typical console access/OOB use cases only or a lot more data?  If the 
former, I can't see any reason to mess with anything more than a telemetry-rate 
plan SIM card in a 3g/4g console server.  Chances are, if you can get cell 
phone coverage to your cage, it will work fine.  They're also very cheap, lower 
latency, and nothing more than velcro is needed to install them.

satellite. Satellite is excellent for actual OOB and obviously much more 
reliable in a DR scenario.

...And somewhat silly, given that it's *that* facility.  But the roof
is mostly clear, if anyone needs to put up a dish.

There are a couple of metro wireless providers that can touch that
location as well, in case your definition of OOB is pretty robustly
out-of-band...

But the likely solution is a network provider already there or nearby.
