Sierra Wireless Gobi 2000 HS-USB NMEA 9001 (COM4) Driver

The Sierra Wireless Gobi 2000 HS-USB NMEA 9001 (COM4) driver lets Windows recognize the Gobi 2000 module’s NMEA serial interface, allowing compatible software to receive GPS positioning data when supported and enabled. This USB driver is intended for users restoring a missing COM port, resolving an unrecognized device, or setting up location-aware applications on a computer with the matching Sierra Wireless module.

Key Features

• NMEA interface support: Enables communication between Windows and the module’s GPS data interface for applications that read NMEA location messages.
• Virtual serial port access: Exposes the interface as a COM port so compatible mapping or diagnostic software can connect. Although this device is listed as COM4, Windows may assign a different port number.
• Legacy Windows compatibility: Driver packages for this device are listed for Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP. Select the package matching your operating system and architecture.
• Device recognition: Helps Windows identify the USB NMEA interface correctly. This component is separate from the drivers and software that manage mobile broadband connectivity.

How to Install Sierra Wireless Gobi 2000 HS-USB NMEA 9001 (COM4) Driver

1. Check your system and device. Open Device Manager and locate the NMEA interface under Ports (COM & LPT) or an unrecognized USB device entry. Confirm its hardware IDs and check whether Windows is 32-bit or 64-bit.
2. Choose the matching package. Before starting a Sierra Wireless Gobi 2000 HS-USB NMEA 9001 (COM4) driver download for Windows, verify compatibility with your computer model and OS. Check the package’s Qualcomm Atheros vendor information against the hardware IDs rather than relying on the name alone.
3. Download and extract. Use a trusted manufacturer or computer-maker source. If choosing a free download, avoid third-party installers that bundle unrelated utilities.
4. Install the driver. Run the supplied setup program, or select Update driver in Device Manager and browse to the extracted driver folder. Restart if prompted.
5. Verify operation. Check that the interface appears without a warning icon, then select its assigned COM port in your GPS application. For Windows 10/11 systems, confirm explicit package support: Windows 11 is not included in this device’s listed supported operating systems.

Keep the driver updated when a compatible release addresses a problem or improves stability. Choose the latest version approved for your hardware and Windows edition, and retain the previous installer so you can roll back an update if necessary.
