Teltonika FMC880 — 4G LTE Cat 1 Battery-Mounted Tracker with L1+L5 GNSS and IP65

The Teltonika FMC880 is part of Teltonika's Fast and Easy FMx8 device family — a range built around the principle that the number 8 brings everything together in one place with simplicity of basic tracking. The FMC880 is a waterproof 4G LTE Cat 1 battery-mounted tracker that installs directly onto the car battery via a U-type cable in under 5 minutes — no specific technical knowledge or installation engineers required.

What makes the FMC880 stand out from other battery-mounted trackers is its dual-band L1+L5 GNSS receiver — delivering under 1.5 metre positioning accuracy for high-quality tracking even in dense urban canyons and challenging signal environments. Combined with IP65 protection for under-bonnet installation, Bluetooth 4.0 for wireless sensor connectivity, a comprehensive set of driving safety scenarios and a slim design optimised for discreet battery mounting, the FMC880 is an excellent solution for courier delivery, car rental, insurance telematics and fleet management where simple, fast integration is essential.

As an official Teltonika distributor in the UK, Tracking Hardware UK ships the FMC880 directly from our London warehouse — with trade pricing available for telematics service providers, fleet operators and resellers.

FMC880 vs FMB920 — Which Should You Choose?

Both are compact 4G and 2G trackers respectively with Bluetooth and backup batteries. The FMC880 is battery-mounted with a U-type cable for ultra-fast installation directly onto the car battery, IP65 protection and dual-band L1+L5 GNSS for superior accuracy. The FMB920 is a standard wired tracker with IP54 protection and a compact form factor for covert installation. Choose the FMC880 for maximum installation speed and positioning accuracy. Choose the FMB920 for covert wired installation where the compact size is more important.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is dual-band L1+L5 GNSS and why does it matter for the FMC880? Standard trackers use the L1 GNSS frequency only. The FMC880 uses both L1 and L5 simultaneously, delivering positioning accuracy of under 1.5 metres — significantly better than standard single-band trackers. This is particularly valuable in urban environments with tall buildings where single-band trackers often lose accuracy.

How quickly can the FMC880 be installed?

The FMC880 installs directly onto the car battery via its U-type cable in under 5 minutes — no specialist tools or technical knowledge required. This makes it one of the fastest trackers to deploy at scale across large fleets.

Is the FMC880 compatible with the Tracking Hardware UK BLE driver identification keypad?

Yes — the FMC880 supports Bluetooth 4.0 and is fully compatible with the Tracking Hardware UK BLE driver identification keypad. Contact us for keypad and FMC880 bundle pricing.

Does the FMC880 need a SIM card?

Yes — the FMC880 requires a SIM card with 4G LTE Cat 1 data capability. It is not supplied with a SIM. Contact us for SIM recommendations for UK fleet deployments.
