Mobile Broadband Drivers
What is Mobile Broadband Drivers?
This is the software driver package for the installed Ericsson Mobile Broadband device. The driver package is required in order for the Ericsson Mobile Broadband device to function properly and is the software that allows your computer to communicate with this hardware device.
Overview
The most used version is 2.01.07.10, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. Upon installation, it defines an auto-start registry entry which allows the program run on each boot for the user which installed it. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. The software installer includes 120 files and is usually about 2.79 MB (2,921,423 bytes).
