Overview

The DG505G is a USB-C 5G/LTE modem dongle from Horizon Powered, a Cerritos, California company, that adds CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Service) cellular data to a laptop, tablet or other USB-C host.[1] It draws power from the host, needs no driver on supported operating systems, and is built on a MediaTek T750 chipset.[1] Horizon's North American model lists only LTE B41/B48 and 5G NR n41/n48/n77/n78,[1] and Horizon states it will not operate on T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon or other public networks without a minimum order quantity, so treat it as a private-network device unless Horizon confirms otherwise.[2]
