Curious if anyone has particular hardware they like for OOB / serial management, similar to OpenGear, but preferably 
with 5G support, maybe even T-Mobile support?  It’s becoming increasingly difficult to get static IP 4g machine 
accounts out of Verizon, and the added speed would be nice too.  Or do you separate the serial from the access device 
(cell+firewall, etc.)?

You could get a 5G Catalyst with an async NIM or SM.

But I think you're setting up yourself for unnecessary costs and
failures by designing your OOB to require static IP. You could design
it so that the OOB spokes dial-in to the central OOB hub, and the OOB
hub doesn't care what IP they come from, using certificates or PSK for
identity, instead of IP.
