+1 to whatever Craig recommends.

I'm and end-user of the open-gear stuff for serial OOB to my remote gear, and their stuff is awesome. They know what they are doing.

Worst case, if they don't have something that will do the job, setup a Mikrotik with a sim card into an Open-Gear piece of kit and you cant go wrong.

Opengear will probably do 90% of that (not sure about AD/radius) They use
standard RJ-45 / Cat-5 with adaptor cables to do Cisco rollover / APC
rj-11 / DB9 etc.

It's a linux box under the hood and their CTO is in Brisbane so if you
need a particular feature. There is a good chance that lunch and a few
beers might get it for you :P
