If you need performance, you need a more-than-handheld unit, and an antenna (dish) that's more than a little QFH stub. Shannon's bandwidth limit, carrier/noise ratio, bit energy, etc reasons.
We were using the cradlepoint for IP until vzw went down... no cellular on any carrier to the entire county for 2 days. Dish up and aligned, modem on and logged in, fired up the network extender and we had our own little bubble of cellular service. Routed radio and VoIP traffic, streamed video back to emg.ops, and a handful of other IP/cloud-based services through satellite for the duration of that incident.
All the two-way traffic is linked over PTP microwave between sites in town. Fast, cheap, and easy bandwidth over that.
