Option now have LTE modules, but they are a little bigger than the gtm601u in
the GTA04 so aren't quite a drop-in replacement. They do say the 601 will fit
on the footprint of the 801 though, so they are probably electrically
compatible.

Any low volume product that isn't backed by a big corporate is going to be a
bit behind the times simply because the manufacturers won't release
That said, the 4G issue looks like a relatively easy problem to solve. Getting
the economics to work seems to be the biggest hurdle at the moment.
