Going to depend entirely on the data center.  I've got OpenGear boxes deployed in a variety of places, using Verizon 
LTE with static IP.  One Level 3 colo I'm in I had to buy a high gain directional antenna to get the signal strength up 
above -80, where below that you're lucky to get a reasonable SSH experience, but then I'm in a Switch colo in Vegas 
that has dramatically more customers and equipment,  and I get almost double that signal strength, inside a rack, 
inside a metal heat chamber, with the built-in antennas.  Just depends on the structure and proximity to a tower I'm 
guessing.
