Mcuzone has announced MP4GM - A Raspberry Pi 5 4G LTE Module which adapts the Pi 5 PCIe FFC connection to a mini PCIe slot, and adds on a nano SIM card slot and three USB 2.0 port headers (courtesy of a VLI USB chipset).

It looks like it also includes a case that is compatible with SMA antenna connectors (which you have to supply?).

It's not clear if the mPCIe slot includes PCIe support, or just USB 2.0 support. The speeds they list on the page seem to indicate maxing out around 50 Mbps, which would indicate they're using a 4-port USB 2.0 hub and exposing only that to the slot.
