HUAWEI Mobile Connect - 3G GPS Interface (COM72) Driver

The HUAWEI Mobile Connect – 3G GPS Interface (COM72) driver helps Windows recognize and communicate with the GPS-related serial interface exposed by a compatible Huawei USB mobile broadband device. It is intended for users whose interface appears as an unknown device, shows a warning in Device Manager, or is unavailable to compatible GPS software.

Key Features

• USB interface recognition: Enables Windows to identify the Huawei GPS interface as part of a compatible Mobile Connect device.
• Serial-port communication: Provides a COM-port connection that supported applications can use to communicate with the GPS interface, where the hardware and firmware support GPS functionality.
• Windows compatibility: Supports Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP when you select the appropriate driver package and system architecture.
• Troubleshooting support: Installing the correct driver can resolve missing-driver warnings and restore access to an interface that Windows has not configured correctly.

How to Install HUAWEI Mobile Connect – 3G GPS Interface (COM72) Driver

1. Check your device and Windows version. Open Device Manager and locate the Huawei interface, which may appear under Ports (COM & LPT) or Other devices. Confirm your Windows version and whether your system is 32-bit or 64-bit.
2. Choose a matching package. Before starting your HUAWEI Mobile Connect – 3G GPS Interface (COM72) driver download for Windows, verify the package’s supported hardware and operating systems. If choosing a free download, use a trusted source and check the publisher information.
3. Install the driver. Extract the downloaded archive if necessary, then run the included installer. If there is no installer, right-click the device in Device Manager, select Update driver, and browse to the extracted driver folder.
4. Reconnect and verify. Restart Windows if prompted, reconnect the Huawei device, and check that the interface appears without a warning icon. Windows may assign a COM number other than COM72; configure your application to use the assigned port.
5. Check application access. Open compatible GPS software and select the correct serial interface. Driver installation alone does not enable GPS on hardware that lacks that capability.

Keep the driver updated when Huawei provides a compatible release that addresses your needs. Choose the latest version validated for your device rather than assuming every newer package is suitable. For Windows 10/11 systems, check compatibility carefully: Windows 10 is listed as supported here, but Windows 11 support is not confirmed. Before an update, retain the working installer in case you need to roll back.
