Remote Sim card solution or SIM Injector

I've been looking for a solution to have the sim card separated from the router as the router will stay together with the antenna.

The idea is to be able to switch between one of our 3 carriers to get the best signal, however ideally without having to open the radio+antenna box.
I noticed peplink has a sim injector that supports up to 8 sims, is there any open solution for this problem or only peplink has this option ?

Anyone ever though about this problem ?

I know some Cradlepoint routers have dual sim support as well. https://customer.cradlepoint.com/s/arti ... SIM-modems For open solution there is the H721 dual modem router or the MikroTik RBM33G Routerboard with dual sim but it's not exactly what you are looking for. Maybe others know.

Sorry but having dual sim card is fine, the issue is having the sim card 50 feet away from the modem.

Seems like some solder and something like ethernet cable could achieve if you can't find something premade.
