HP un2420 Mobile Broadband Module NMEA (COM7) Driver

The HP un2420 Mobile Broadband Module NMEA (COM7) driver helps Windows recognize the module’s NMEA serial interface, which compatible location software can use to receive GPS data when supported and enabled. If this interface appears as an unknown device or has a warning in Device Manager, installing the correct driver can help restore communication between Windows and the module.

Key Features

• NMEA interface support: Enables compatible applications to communicate with the module’s location-data interface; this is separate from configuring a mobile broadband internet connection.
• Serial port recognition: Allows Windows to identify the interface as a COM port. Although this device is listed as COM7, Windows may assign a different port number on your computer.
• USB device integration: Supports communication with the USB-connected HP un2420 module using the appropriate Qualcomm Atheros driver package.
• Legacy Windows compatibility: Intended for supported configurations running Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, or XP. Confirm the package’s operating system and architecture requirements before installation.

How to Install HP un2420 Mobile Broadband Module NMEA (COM7) Driver

1. Check your system. Open Device Manager and locate the NMEA interface under Ports (COM & LPT), Other devices, or the relevant USB category. Check its hardware IDs and confirm whether your Windows installation is 32-bit or 64-bit.
2. Choose a matching package. Before starting your HP un2420 Mobile Broadband Module NMEA (COM7) driver download for Windows, verify that the package supports your HP computer, module, and operating system. Choose a free download from a trusted source.
3. Install the driver. Extract the downloaded archive if necessary, then run the included installer. If no installer is provided, select Update driver in Device Manager and browse to the extracted driver folder.
4. Restart if prompted. After installation, check that the device is listed without a warning icon and note its assigned COM port.
5. Check application settings. Select that COM port in your compatible GPS or mapping application. Location output also depends on GPS availability, module settings, and reception.

Keep the driver updated when a compatible release addresses a problem or improves reliability. Choose the latest version validated for your hardware rather than assuming a newer package will work. For Windows 10/11 systems, check support carefully: Windows 10 is listed for this device, but Windows 11 compatibility is not confirmed. Before an update, consider creating a restore point so you can revert if needed.
