Overall 'bulletproof' is the required solution. 
I need 4 items, but some do come combined
Radio
TNC
Mini Computer
3G modem

Combined items (my view) usually work well together.

This is for a location which is currently completely beyond the VHF
APRS system. It doesn't have access to internet through an ADSL or
networked solution, although that may happen before the project is
complete.
