I have a warehouse in a remote area that has no internet access in the local area. The only internet access that is available is for wireless broadband cards. Is there a hotspot device made that I could put inside this warehouse that would connect like a wireless broadband card? I would then want to connect my computers to this wireless hotspot device so that they would have internet access.
Cradlepoint makes many different models: http://moremobileinternet.com/mobile-router/
When you say wireless broadband cards, do you mean 3G or 4G connections?
You would need to check with your service provider for compatible devices. Verizon has MiFi hotspots, for example.

Limitations of Mobile Broadband
Along with the obvious advantage of Internet access from anywhere, consider these common limitations of mobile broadband:
- monthly service plans can cost significantly more than for traditional broadband, sometimes including extra fees for larger volumes of data usage
- "high speed" can mean significantly slower than for traditional broadband, sometimes less than 1 Mbps depending on the service provider's network capability
- network outages occur when roaming, caused by limits of the service provider coverage area or obstructions from geography, and service may also be disrupted inside larger buildings due to interference
