This Teltonika vs Queclink comparison gives a fast view of the hardware decision: which brand fits vehicle tracking, asset tracking, trailer tracking and fleet rollout requirements.

Choosing between Teltonika and Queclink is one of the most common questions we get — and because we're an official UK distributor of both, we can give you a straight answer instead of a sales pitch. Here's how the two brands compare, and how to pick the right one for your fleet.

The short answer

Choose Teltonika if you want the widest range of highly configurable vehicle and fleet trackers with a deep accessory ecosystem — CAN/OBD data, driver ID and sensors. Choose Queclink if you want rugged, simple-to-deploy tracking, especially battery-powered asset trackers built to last in the field. Both are fully unlocked, work with any tracking platform, and ship from our UK stock.

When to choose Teltonika

Teltonika suits operators who want maximum control and the broadest hardware choice. If you're building a solution that needs precise configuration, CAN bus data, driver identification, fuel monitoring or video telematics, Teltonika's range and accessories make it easy to match the hardware to the job.

Widest device range (FMB, FMC and FMM series, plus asset and video)
Deep configuration control and custom scenarios
Rich CAN bus and OBD vehicle data
Strong driver ID and sensor ecosystem (see our driver ID keypads)
Ideal for powered vehicle and fleet tracking

In model terms: the compact FMC920 covers everyday van and car tracking on 4G LTE Cat 1 with 2G fallback; the FMC130 and FMC230 add more inputs and outputs, wired 1-Wire driver ID and — on the FMC230 — an IP67 waterproof housing; and the FMC650 handles heavy vehicles with remote tachograph download, native CAN bus (J1939) and RS232/RS485 interfaces. Teltonika Telematics also makes network choice explicit in its series letters — B models are 2G, C models are 4G LTE Cat 1, M models are LTE Cat M1 — so you can standardise a whole fleet on the connectivity you actually need.

When to choose Queclink

Queclink shines where ruggedness and simplicity matter most — particularly battery-powered and non-powered asset tracking that has to survive in the field for long periods with minimal fuss. If you're tracking trailers, plant or containers and want dependable, straightforward devices, Queclink is an excellent fit.

Rugged, dependable hardware
Excellent battery-powered and non-powered asset trackers
Simple, reliable out-of-the-box deployment
Great for trailers, plant, containers and unpowered assets

In model terms: the GV series covers hardwired vehicle tracking — the GV57MG is a compact LTE Cat M1 unit with Bluetooth driver ID, while the GV620MG is built for HGVs and trailers, with an IP67 housing, a large rechargeable battery that can keep reporting for up to three months when external power is disconnected, and support for up to eight wired temperature sensors. The GL series is Queclink’s battery-powered asset range — nothing to wire in, LTE Cat M1/NB2 connectivity with 2G fallback, and long field life. Queclink also makes fleet dashcams: see our CV200 vs CV5000 buyer’s guide.

Both work with our driver ID keypads

Whichever brand you choose, you don't lose driver identification. Both Teltonika and Queclink trackers support Tracking Hardware's driver ID keypads — including PIN, RFID, iButton and BLE options — so you can add driver identification to any vehicle regardless of which tracker you run. That means you can even mix Teltonika and Queclink across your fleet and keep a single, consistent driver-ID setup.

Best for — Teltonika: configurable vehicle and fleet tracking; Queclink: rugged asset and battery-powered tracking
Device range — Teltonika: very broad; Queclink: broad, with strong asset heritage

Asset / battery options — Teltonika: good; Queclink: excellent
Driver ID keypads — supported on both brands
Platform compatibility — both fully unlocked, work with any platform
UK stock and support — both in stock; Teltonika via our official Platinum distributor status

Two differences deserve more detail. On battery asset tracking, Queclink’s GL trackers run on LTE Cat M1/NB2 with 2G fallback, while Teltonika’s TAT100 is IP68-rated and runs for long periods on replaceable lithium cells but is 2G-only — worth weighing as UK 2G networks wind down.

On driver ID, both brands work with our keypads, but the compact models on each side — Teltonika’s 920 series and Queclink’s GV57MG — do driver ID over Bluetooth only. If you want a wired 1-Wire keypad, choose a model with a 1-Wire interface such as the FMC130, FMC230 or GV620MG.
