""wltrysvc"" stands for ""Wireless Tray Service"" and is a program installed along with the drivers for Broadcom-based wireless network adapters, which allows them to be controlled and configured. (Broadcom doesn't make end products, but rather the chips that are used by other companies, and is one of the most common providers of wireless networking core logic.) This process sits in the system tray and also shows current signal strength as measured by the adapter.
