Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of AMIT’s IDG120 CBRS USB Dongle. With this AMIT USB dongle you

•Distance Learning
•Campus Networking
•Enterprise Private LTE
•In-Building Network
Main Features:
•Providing capability for laptop PC or existing USB-based equipments to connect to a LTE CBRS OnGo
network.
•Build with a high-speed Cat-6 LTE-TDD modem which can meet data throughput requirement for
various applications.
•Carrier aggregation (CA) support that can bring higher data throughput and better user experience in
the field.
•Compact dongle design with two internal CBRS LTE antennas. Easy for installation and carry.
•Compatible with Microsoft Windows, Linux, Apple Mac, and Google Chromebook operating systems.
