The software extracted from the driver CD from the common blue USB simcard reader (see photos). Since nobody owns CD drives anymore and I couldn't find this software anywhere else.
Additionally when connecting the device to a Windows 10 machine I ran into a driver problem PL2303HXA PHASED OUT SINCE 2012. PLEASE CONTACT YOUR SUPPLIER. Which I solved by installing this driver:
