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.

I would be more than happy to put an antenna on a data center roof. Depending on throughput requirements, it would probably end up being cheaper to use satellite. Satellite is excellent for actual OOB and obviously much more reliable in a DR scenario.

Last I heard, roof rights are pricey down there :)

Satellite! ;)
...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.
