Teltonika FMC880 is a compact and water-resistant GPS tracker with 4G connectivity (LTE Cat 1) and Bluetooth LE support. It is designed for easy installation and reliable vehicle monitoring. With high positioning accuracy, a robust design, and smart connectivity options, it’s perfect for everything from leasing and rental cars to delivery vans, insurance telematics, and light construction vehicles.

Key features

Real-time tracking via 4G (LTE Cat 1) with fallback to 2G GSM/GPRS.
Dual-band GNSS receiver (L1 & L5) for excellent positioning accuracy and fast first fix.
Built-in accelerometer enabling crash detection.
Bluetooth LE support for external sensors/beacons (e.g., temperature, humidity, magnetic) and configuration via Bluetooth.
Rugged housing with IP65 rating (protection against dust and water splashes) – suitable for demanding environments.
Quick installation – can be mounted to, for example, the vehicle battery with U-type connectors without extensive technician work.
Supply voltage 10–30 V DC, internal backup battery (≈170 mAh) for operation even during power loss.

Technical specifications (selection)

Dimensions: approx. 92.5 × 57.6 × 14 mm, weight ≈63 g.
Voltage: 10–30 V DC with over- and undervoltage protection.
GNSS: Positioning accuracy < 1.5 m CEP; sensitivity down to –165 dBm.
Cellular bands: vary by variant – e.g., LTE FDD Cat 1: B1/B3/B5/B7/B8/B20/B28 for the EU model.
Battery: Internal Li-Ion 170 mAh (3.7 V) backup.
Sleep modes and operating modes to optimize power consumption.

Use cases

FMC880 is particularly well suited for:

Vehicle fleets (leasing, rental, courier/delivery) where installation and operation should be smooth and cost-effective.
Insurance telematics where crash detection and precise position data are valuable.
Light vehicles and construction machinery that require robust equipment with solid protection against dust/water.
Applications that connect external sensors via Bluetooth LE – e.g., temperature/humidity monitoring, magnetic alarms, geofence sensors.

Benefits

Easy installation: No complicated wiring or special tools required – the device is designed for “plug & play”.
High accuracy and stable connectivity: With dual-band GNSS and 4G as standard, you get fast and reliable tracking.
Future-proof: 4G connectivity plus a backup battery and rugged design ensure long-term operation.
Sensor flexibility: Bluetooth LE lets you expand functionality without extra cabling – great for, e.g., temperature alerts or anti-theft.
Protected against the elements: The IP65 rating and operating range from -40 °C to +85 °C (without battery) make it suitable for demanding environments.

Important details to consider

A micro-SIM is required for cellular connectivity – remember to check data plan and coverage.
The device must be installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure correct GPS reception and operation.
Configuration via USB or Bluetooth may be required to adapt it to your tracking platform or internal systems.

Explanation of frequency bands

When choosing an antenna, pay attention to which frequency bands the antenna supports. Depending on which operator and where the antenna will be used, the frequency bands vary. Larger cities use 2600MHz while smaller towns use 800/900MHz with some support bands in between such as 1800/2100MHz.

A higher frequency band gives a higher speed but also has a shorter range. The same applies to the antenna, if you have a base station that transmits on 2600MHz, your antenna, antenna cable and the location of the antenna become more important than on a lower frequency band. Explanation of signal loss we will go through soon. Higher frequency bands also mean shorter range from the base station.

450MHz (coverage band) also known as the Net1 band is the frequency band that covers the most area in Sweden. Therefore, Net1 is known to be able to have reception where other operators don´t have a chance, but with low download and upload speeds. The reason why this band is called Net1 is because that the company Net1 has exclusive rights to this frequency band.

800MHz (coverage band) is used by all common operators, excluding Net1. The low frequency band means that 800MHz covers a lot of space. Therefore, the band is used outside big cities or smaller towns. 800MHz is the most used frequency band around Europe.

900MHz (coverage band) is the band that Tele2 and Telenor initially used as coverage band. 900MHz is a more unusual LTE band and in the beginning the band caused some problems when the clients (mobile phones etc.) could not connect to 900MHz. Today, the mobile phone manufacturers have adapted the mobile phones to be able to communicate on 900MHz.

1800MHz (capacity band) is the latest frequency band launched. All operators today use this band in metropolitan centers (apart from Net1).

2600MHz (capacity band) is a very well-used frequency band all over Europe. 2600MHz is the highest frequency band used for LTE, this means that the band also has the shortest range compared to 800/900MHz. Due to the high capacity, the band is used in metropolitan environments where many base stations are required to cover as much surface as possible and have as high a capacity as possible.
