This isn't exactly what you were asking for, but:

I have an old Motorola ad (1978) for "The RDX Portable Data
Terminal System." The unit looks like a special keypad/ bar code reader
stuck to one of their UHF handitalkies. The radio could send/receive
at a rate of 80 characters per second. The control unit at the
base station would be connected to leased lines at rates of 1200
to 9600 bits per second.

The big problem, as far as I was concerned, was that the other
end of the leased lines was supposed to be connected to an IBM 360/370.
Also, if I recall correctly, a Motorola handitalky by itself is
in the kilo-buck range.

I have no idea whether this is still being marketed.
