Iridium USB Serial Port (COM32) Driver

The Iridium USB Serial Port (COM32) driver enables Windows to recognize a compatible Iridium USB connection as a serial port, allowing supported software to communicate with the connected equipment. It is intended for users setting up an Iridium device, restoring a missing COM port, or troubleshooting a connection that applications cannot detect.

Key Features

• USB-to-serial communication: Provides the serial interface that compatible applications use to exchange data with connected Iridium equipment.
• COM port identification: Allows Windows to list the connection under Ports (COM & LPT) in Device Manager. COM32 is the assigned port number, which may differ between computers or USB connections.
• Legacy Windows support: Intended for Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP, subject to the compatibility requirements of the specific driver package.
• Application connectivity: Lets software that requires a serial connection access the device through its assigned COM port, with communication settings configured as required by the equipment.

How to Install Iridium USB Serial Port (COM32) Driver

1. Check your system and device. Confirm your Windows version, whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit, and the connected Iridium hardware model. For Windows 10/11 systems, note that Windows 11 is not included in the listed supported operating systems; verify compatibility before proceeding.
2. Choose a compatible package. Before starting your Iridium USB Serial Port (COM32) driver download for Windows, review the package details and hardware compatibility. Use an official or trusted source, and confirm that any free download matches your device rather than relying on the filename alone.
3. Prepare the files. Extract the downloaded archive if necessary and read any included instructions. Connect or disconnect the Iridium equipment as directed by the package documentation.
4. Install the driver. Run the supplied installer, if available. Alternatively, open Device Manager, locate the relevant device, select Update driver, and browse to the extracted driver folder. Administrator permission may be required.
5. Verify the connection. Restart Windows if prompted, then check Device Manager for the serial port and any warning symbols. Select the displayed COM port in your application; use COM32 only if that is the number Windows assigns.

Keep the driver updated when a compatible release addresses a connection issue or supports your setup. Check the latest version against your hardware and Windows edition before you update, and retain a working installer in case you need to restore the previous driver.
