Sonim XP STRIKE IS - NMEA Interface (COM31) Driver

The Sonim XP STRIKE IS – NMEA Interface (COM31) driver helps Windows recognize the phone’s USB-connected NMEA serial interface so compatible software can access navigation data when the device provides it. It is intended for users setting up this interface for the first time or troubleshooting an unrecognized device, missing COM port, or connection problem.

Listed under Qualcomm Atheros in the USB category, this interface has stated support for Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP. If you are comparing Windows 10/11 compatibility, note that Windows 11 is not included in the supplied support list; verify compatibility before attempting installation.

• NMEA communication support: Provides the driver connection needed by software that reads NMEA navigation messages, subject to the phone’s capabilities and configuration.
• Support for listed Windows versions: Intended for supported installations of Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP, with package compatibility checked before use.
