Installation of the Vodafone Mobile Broadband application
Introduction
This document is based on version 10.2 of the Vodafone Mobile Broadband application (VMB 10).
The installation of VMB 10 requires certain Microsoft software to be installed on the target
computer. This software will be installed from the VMB 10 application media, e.g. a VMB 10 CD, if
it is not already present. The VMB 10 installer checks specific start conditions before proceeding
with the installation.
Operating Systems & Software Requirements
For supported operating systems and software requirements please refer to the Vodafone Mobile
Broadband ReadMe.
Variants of the Vodafone Mobile Broadband Application
Vodafone Mobile Broadband is available in three variants:
• ‘Full’ refers to the download variant and has no restrictions. Use this variant for manual
installation on a small number of computers.
• The ‘Lite’ variant can be installed from the removable data storage in USB modems, data cards
and mobile phones with on-board memory. Due to current restrictions on the size of on-board
storage space, the Lite variant has several limitations (see table below). This variant is intended
for consumers and is usually not used in a corporate environment.
• ‘Corporate’, does not check the application requirements and is intended for large, controlled
corporate roll-outs.
The following table compares the ‘Corporate’ variant to the ‘Full’ and ‘Lite’ variants.
• ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ means the item is part of the build (‘Yes’) or not (‘No’)
• ‘All’ means all drivers are available, whereas ‘Subset’ means only those drivers for the
manufacturer of the device are contained from which the Lite build is being installed.
