HP un2420 Mobile Broadband Module NMEA (COM5) Driver

The HP un2420 Mobile Broadband Module NMEA (COM5) driver allows Windows to recognize the module’s NMEA serial interface, which compatible software can use to receive GPS positioning data when supported and enabled. This Qualcomm Atheros USB-category device needs the appropriate driver if its NMEA port appears as an unknown device, shows a warning in Device Manager, or is unavailable to location-aware applications.

Key Features

• NMEA interface recognition: Helps Windows identify the module’s positioning-data interface as a serial port, shown here as COM5.
• Application connectivity: Allows compatible GPS and mapping software to access NMEA output when the module’s GPS functionality is available and configured.
• Legacy Windows support: Driver packages may cover Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP; check the individual package for your operating system and architecture.
• Device configuration: Provides the driver components needed for the NMEA interface. Mobile broadband connectivity may require additional components from the full module software package.

How to Install HP un2420 Mobile Broadband Module NMEA (COM5) Driver

1. Check your system and device. Confirm your Windows version and whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit. In Device Manager, inspect the device’s hardware IDs to help verify that the package matches your module.
2. Choose a compatible package. Before starting an HP un2420 Mobile Broadband Module NMEA (COM5) driver download for Windows, review its supported systems and hardware details. For Windows 10/11 computers, note that Windows 11 is not listed among this device’s supported operating systems.
3. Download and extract the files. Use a trusted free download source, preferably the computer manufacturer’s support resources. Choose the latest version explicitly compatible with your hardware rather than assuming the newest package will work.
4. Install the driver. Run the included installer, if provided. Otherwise, right-click the device in Device Manager, select Update driver, and browse to the extracted driver folder.
5. Restart and verify operation. Restart if prompted, then check Device Manager for warning icons. Select the assigned COM port in your compatible application; Windows may assign a number other than COM5.

Keep the driver updated when a compatible release addresses a problem you are experiencing. Before an update, review compatibility notes and retain a working installer so you can restore the previous setup if necessary.
