Thank you everyone who responded. I have a nice list of options to try out.
Below is a summary of the options I have been given. Some options I have excluded due to no ethernet port or direct SIM etc. Some more expensive options than I planned in there but that's ok in this context. Would specifically like to hear from anybody using the Teltonika RUT950 as that appears to fit perfectly. I think I will have that and one of integrated Routerboard's tested. * RB912 RouterBoard with Sierra MC7304 LTE card - https://shop.duxtel.com.au/product_info.php?cPath=23&products_id=106&osCsid=ndoa5trn57930jrh9e0dc1h9b7 - No modem with 700Mhz support - around $400 or less * Cico C819G-LTE-LA-K9 800 series model for Australia.
