I do a lot of work in this area and what I've seen over the last few 
years is that almost all products are getting rid of an internal modem 
and either using USB-based dongles OR, even more flexibly, 
Ethernet-connected cellular modems.

It's obviously more convenient to have the whole thing integrated into a 
single package, but if space is not an issue, stacking any Cisco router 
you like with  Ethernet-connected cellular modems is the way of the 
future if you want to stick with reliable/programmable gear like Cisco.

There are both SOHO and industrial versions---a quick search will turn 
up units from manufacturers at all price points, including folks like 
Netgear, Alcatel, and Digi (about $100), as well as lower cost units.
