Another device to consider is the Moxa NPort 5110.  It takes 12-48  
VDC, and its price ($120) is a lot better than equivalent products  
from Lantronix, Digi, and Black Box.

I've had a 5110 connected to a Guralp 6TD for over a year without any  
issues.  That said, it's on utility power and uses a SDSL link  
terminated directly into our Earthworm machine, so I don't know how  
well it would hold up on solar power and a public network.
