FTM880

Teltonika FTM880 — Next-Generation LTE Cat M1 IP69K Battery-Mounted GPS Tracker

The Teltonika FTM880 is the LTE Cat M1 version of Teltonika's next-generation FTx880 battery-mounted tracker series — a landmark product built on Teltonika's advanced Fleet Telematics platform that brings together enhanced GNSS accuracy, insurance-grade crash data and maximum IP69K waterproof protection in an easy-to-install battery-mounted device. Launched in 2025 as the latest addition to the FTx8 series, the FTM880 is designed for the broadest possible range of use cases — from insurance telematics and car sharing requiring precise crash reconstruction, to agriculture and construction requiring pressure-wash-resistant hardware that end users can install themselves without technical knowledge.

Its 400Hz accelerometer — double the sampling rate of previous Teltonika devices — captures configurable pre- and post-impact crash traces and calculates crash direction as well as maximum and average impact vectors. This gives insurers the precise, tamper-resistant data needed for verifying claims, analysing driving behaviour and refining risk models. Combined with up to 41 visible satellites for under 1.8 metre positioning accuracy and LTE Cat M1 and NB-IoT connectivity for broad global IoT network coverage, the FTM880 is one of the most capable battery-mounted trackers Teltonika has ever produced.

As an official Teltonika distributor in the UK, Tracking Hardware UK ships the FTM880 directly from our London warehouse — with trade pricing available for telematics service providers, fleet operators and resellers.

Key Features

• LTE Cat M1 and NB-IoT with 2G fallback — global IoT network connectivity for reliable real-time tracking across UK and international networks, with automatic 2G fallback ensuring continuous coverage across key global markets

• Up to 41 visible satellites — enhanced multi-constellation GNSS with GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou tracking up to 41 satellites simultaneously for under 1.8 metre positioning accuracy — significantly better than standard trackers

• 400Hz accelerometer — doubles the accelerometer sampling rate of previous Teltonika devices, capturing configurable pre- and post-impact crash traces and calculating crash direction, maximum and average impact vectors for precise insurance-grade crash reconstruction

• IP69K maximum waterproof protection — the highest ingress protection rating available, providing complete protection against dust and high-pressure, high-temperature water jets — safe for pressure washing in agriculture, construction and mining environments

• Battery-mounted installation — connects directly to the vehicle battery on 10-30V DC — simple, flexible mounting with no specialist tools or technical knowledge required, ideal for B2C self-installation and seasonal deployments

• 320mAh internal backup battery — maintains device operation and data logging if primary battery power is interrupted or tampered with

• BLE connectivity — connects to EYE Sensors and driver identification accessories for extended monitoring without additional wiring

• Optimised sleep modes — advanced power management significantly reduces vehicle battery drainage during extended stationary periods, enabling long-term autonomous operation

• Smart ignition detection — automatically detects ignition on and off by monitoring external voltage patterns without manual threshold configuration

• Crash detection — 400Hz accelerometer provides precise crash trace data for insurance evidence and accident reconstruction

• Tow detection — alerts when the vehicle is moved without ignition

• Unplug detection — alerts when the device is disconnected from the battery Network

• jamming detection — detects cellular network interference and jamming attempts

• Eco driving monitoring — tracks harsh braking, acceleration and cornering for driver behaviour scoring

• Geofencing — configurable zone alerts when vehicles enter or exit defined areas

• FOTA Web and TCT updates — remote firmware and configuration management

Driver Identification with Tracking Hardware UK BLE Keypad

The FTM880 supports BLE connectivity and is compatible with the Tracking Hardware UK BLE driver identification keypad. Drivers enter their unique PIN or present their card at the start of each trip and the driver ID is logged alongside all GPS and telematics data — providing complete driver accountability with no wiring required. Contact us to discuss keypad and FTM880 bundle pricing.

FTM880 vs FTC880 — Which Should You Choose?

Both the FTM880 and FTC880 are built on the same FT platform with 400Hz crash traces, up to 41 visible satellites, IP69K protection, BLE and battery-mounted installation. The FTC880 uses LTE Cat 1 for faster data speeds on standard 4G networks — the recommended choice for UK and European deployments. The FTM880 uses LTE Cat M1 and NB-IoT for broader global IoT coverage — designed for international deployments across the US, Canada, Australia, Japan and other key global markets. For UK deployments the FTC880 is recommended. For global IoT network deployments the FTM880 is the correct choice.

FTM880 vs FTM887 — What Is the Difference?

Both are LTE Cat M1 battery-mounted trackers with IP69K protection and BLE. The FTM887 adds dead reckoning for uninterrupted tracking through tunnels and urban canyons using an integrated gyroscope — making it the better choice where continuous positioning without GPS gaps is critical. The FTM880 focuses on enhanced GNSS accuracy and 400Hz insurance-grade crash data — making it the better choice for insurance telematics, car sharing and agriculture or construction deployments where crash reconstruction precision is the priority.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the FTM880's crash detection better than standard trackers? The FTM880 uses a 400Hz accelerometer — double the sampling rate of previous Teltonika devices — to capture configurable pre- and post-impact crash traces and calculate crash direction, maximum impact vectors and average impact vectors. This provides insurers with precise, tamper-resistant data for verifying claims and analysing driving behaviour at a level of detail that standard trackers cannot match.

What is the difference between the FTM880 and the FTM887?

Both are LTE Cat M1 battery-mounted trackers with IP69K and BLE. The FTM887 adds dead reckoning via a gyroscope for uninterrupted tracking through GPS-denied environments. The FTM880 adds a 400Hz accelerometer for insurance-grade crash traces. Choose FTM887 for continuous positioning accuracy. Choose FTM880 for insurance telematics crash data precision.

Is the FTM880 suitable for self-installation without technical knowledge?

Yes — the FTM880 is specifically designed for B2C deployments where end users install the device themselves. It connects to the vehicle battery with no specialist tools required and is one of the few Teltonika devices designed with consumer self-installation in mind.
