ZTE HU-USB NMEA Device (COM17) Driver

The ZTE HU-USB NMEA Device (COM17) driver helps Windows recognize the NMEA serial interface exposed by compatible ZTE USB hardware, allowing supported software to access positioning-related data when the hardware provides it. You may need this driver if the interface appears as an unknown device, shows a warning in Device Manager, or cannot be accessed by your application.

Key Features

• USB serial interface support: Lets compatible software communicate with the device through a Windows COM port.
• NMEA data access: Supports the connection used by applications that read NMEA messages, subject to the capabilities and configuration of your ZTE hardware.
• Device identification: Helps Windows identify the interface correctly rather than leaving it listed as an unrecognized USB device.
• Legacy Windows support: Intended for compatible installations of Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP; select a package matching your operating system and architecture.

COM17 is the port number assigned by Windows, not a separate hardware model. Your computer may assign a different COM number after installation or when the device is connected differently.

How to Install ZTE HU-USB NMEA Device (COM17) Driver

1. Check your system and hardware. Confirm your Windows version and whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit. In Device Manager, check the device’s hardware IDs to help identify the correct package.
2. Choose a compatible download. Before starting a ZTE HU-USB NMEA Device (COM17) driver download for Windows, verify the package’s source and supported hardware. A free download should not require purchasing an unrelated driver-update utility.
3. Prepare the files. Extract the downloaded archive if needed. If the package includes an installer, run it and follow its connection instructions.
4. Install manually if necessary. Open Device Manager, right-click the affected device, select Update driver, and choose the option to browse your computer. Point Windows to the extracted driver folder and complete the prompts.
5. Verify the connection. Restart if requested, then check Device Manager for warnings. Select the assigned COM port in your compatible application.

Keep the driver updated when a verified release addresses connection issues or improves compatibility. Choose the latest version that explicitly supports your hardware and operating system, rather than assuming a newer package will work. For Windows 10/11 searches, note that Windows 11 is not included in the listed supported systems; confirm compatibility with ZTE before attempting an update on that platform.
