Description
The Horizon DG505G is a plug-and-play USB-C modem built for professionals who need reliable broadband access in the field. With native CBRS and Sub-6 GHz 5G support, it’s ideal for remote work, industrial deployments, and mobile teams operating on private LTE or 5G networks.
Roughly the size of a flash drive, the DG505G connects via USB-C and draws power directly from the host device. It’s powered by the MediaTek T750 platform and supports Cat 20 downlink and Cat 18 uplink for performance up to 2 Gbps. Designed for simplicity and portability, the DG505G works with most laptops, tablets, and embedded computing devices running Windows, macOS, or Linux.
This model supports CBRS Band 48 and 5G NR bands n41 and n78 for use on both public and private networks.
