Have you looked at mobile hotspots from Verizon?

I have the 5510L. Works great for my needs.
Google "verizon mifi" (note the 'm').
You can get pre-paid units from, e.g, Fry's. You can get non-contract
monthly rates from Verizon (pricy, but no contract).
We have a "Jetpack" on hand at work. If someone needs digital access
but is going to be in a place with spotty wi-fi, we just activate it
for a month. It's been a while since we've done so, but I seem to
recall it being about $50 (with a data cap).
