A friend that lives 2 miles to the north of me went throught the ATT fixed wireless (available to the north of me) and a tech came out and set up a wifi router that took a SIM card. It was set up where it had good reception and had an external cell antenna.
It's probably just an ATA that connects a phone line to a wireless radio and not a router?
We're playing with Cradlepoint routers at work, they sound like what you describe. With a 5G radio and a couple of big antennas, they are set up as backup WAN connections. When my AT&T circuit goes down (not if, unfortunately), our firewall nails up a VPN connection over the Cradlepoint to the home office, where the networking team sits.

It's the same technology that's in a wireless hotspot or usb data
dongle, except it offers bother wifi and wired ethernet connections.
You purchase a data plan tied to the sim.
