Teltonika FMT100 — 2G Battery-Mounted GPS Tracker with Crash Trace and 5-Minute Installation

The Teltonika FMT100 is Teltonika's proven 2G battery-mounted tracker from the Fast and Easy family — a compact, waterproof device designed to be installed directly onto the vehicle battery under the bonnet in under 5 minutes, without specialist tools or technical knowledge. Its special clamp connectors make the power cable connection fast, clean and secure, and the large internal high-gain GNSS antenna — the biggest in its class — enables reliable positioning even when mounted under a bonnet where GNSS signal can be partially obstructed.

Built-in accelerometer and gyroscope sensors provide accurate crash trace functionality, making the FMT100 a popular choice for the insurance telematics market where precise impact data is needed for claim verification. Bluetooth 4.0 extends monitoring capability through EYE Sensors and EYE Beacons for temperature, humidity and driver identification, and a 170mAh Li-Po backup battery keeps the device operational if the vehicle battery is disconnected — triggering unplug alerts for tamper and theft detection.

As an official Teltonika distributor in the UK, Tracking Hardware UK ships the FMT100 directly from our London warehouse — with trade pricing available for telematics service providers, fleet operators and resellers.

FMT100 vs FMC880 — Which Should You Choose?

Both are battery-mounted trackers from Teltonika's Fast and Easy family with clamp connector installation, accelerometer crash detection, Bluetooth and backup batteries. The FMT100 uses 2G GSM — a cost-effective choice for stable 2G coverage areas and shorter deployment horizons. The FMC880 upgrades to 4G LTE Cat 1 with dual-band L1+L5 GNSS for under 1.5 metre accuracy and IP65 protection. For new long-term UK deployments the FMC880 is the recommended choice. The FMT100 remains an excellent cost-effective option for large-scale 2G deployments.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can the FMT100 be installed?

The FMT100 installs directly onto the car battery using its special clamp connectors in under 5 minutes, with no specialist tools or technical knowledge required. This makes it one of the fastest trackers to deploy at scale across large vehicle fleets.

What makes the FMT100's GNSS antenna special?

The FMT100 features the largest internal high-gain GNSS antenna in its class — specifically designed to maintain reliable positioning when the device is mounted under the bonnet directly on the battery, where standard tracker antennas often lose signal quality due to the surrounding vehicle bodywork.

Is the FMT100 compatible with the Tracking Hardware UK BLE driver identification keypad?

Yes — the FMT100 supports Bluetooth 4.0 and is compatible with the Tracking Hardware UK BLE driver identification keypad. Contact us for keypad and FMT100 bundle pricing.

Is the FMT100 still relevant with 2G networks?

The FMT100 remains a cost-effective choice for insurance telematics and fleet deployments in areas with reliable 2G coverage. For future-proof 4G deployments the FMC880 with LTE Cat 1 and L1+L5 GNSS is the recommended upgrade.
