FMM80A

Teltonika FMM80A — LTE Cat M1 Plug and Play OBD Tracker Designed for North America

The Teltonika FMM80A is a purpose-built LTE Cat M1 and NB-IoT plug-and-play OBD tracker specifically designed, frequency-certified and packaged for the North American market. Part of Teltonika's Fast and Easy device family, the FMM80A is built for maximum simplicity — plugging into the vehicle's OBD-II port in seconds with no tools, no wiring and no installation engineer required, making it one of the fastest trackers to deploy at scale across large vehicle fleets in the US and Canada.

Supporting LTE Cat M1 and NB-IoT with 2G fallback, the FMM80A provides reliable wide-area network connectivity across North American networks, with detailed crash trace data from its configurable 3-axis accelerometer, Bluetooth 4.0 for BLE sensor connectivity and a full set of fleet management features including geofencing, harsh driving monitoring and excessive idling detection.

An important distinction for fleet operators — the FMM80A does not read CAN bus data. It is a straightforward GPS tracking and OBD-II device focused on location, driver behaviour and crash data. For fleets requiring CAN data reading, please consider the FMC800 or FMM800.

As an official Teltonika distributor in the UK, Tracking Hardware UK ships the FMM80A 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 — purpose-built for North American network infrastructure with wide-band frequency support, providing efficient and reliable IoT connectivity with automatic 2G fallback

• Designed and certified for North America — North American frequency bands and certifications make the FMM80A the correct choice for US and Canada fleet deployments

• Plug-and-play OBD-II installation — plugs directly into the standard OBD-II port in seconds with no tools, no wiring and no installation engineer required, preserving the vehicle manufacturer warranty

• Detailed crash trace data — built-in 3-axis accelerometer with fully configurable parameters captures precise pre- and post-impact motion data for accurate crash reconstruction and insurance evidence

• Bluetooth 4.0 + BLE — connects to Bluetooth Low Energy sensors and beacons for temperature, humidity, magnet detection and movement monitoring, and supports firmware and configuration updates wirelessly 115mAh backup battery — maintains device operation if the OBD-II connection is interrupted

• Green driving monitoring — tracks harsh braking, acceleration and cornering for driver behaviour scoring and eco-driving programmes

• Jamming detection — alerts when GPS signal interference is detected

• Tow and unplug detection — generates an alert if the device is removed or the vehicle is towed

• Geofencing — configurable zone alerts when the vehicle enters or exits defined areas

• Excessive idling detection — monitors and alerts on prolonged engine idling

• 128MB internal memory — stores up to 422,400 records when out of network coverage

• Over-the-air updates — firmware updatable remotely via FOTA Web and via Bluetooth

Important Note — No CAN Bus Data

The FMM80A does not read CAN bus data from the vehicle. It reads standard OBD-II parameters only — including engine RPM, vehicle speed, fuel consumption estimates, engine temperature and battery voltage. If you require real CAN bus data such as real fuel level from the dashboard, odometer or AdBlue level, please consider the FMC800 or FMM800 which offer OBD-II data reading with broader vehicle parameter support. Contact us for guidance on choosing the right device for your application.

Driver Identification with Tracking Hardware UK BLE Keypad

The FMM80A supports Bluetooth 4.0 and is fully compatible with the Tracking Hardware UK BLE driver identification keypad. Drivers enter their unique PIN or present their card on the keypad at the start of each trip, and the driver ID is logged alongside all tracking data — giving fleet managers complete visibility of who was driving each vehicle at any given time. No wiring required. Contact us to discuss keypad and FMM80A bundle pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the FMM80A and the FMM800?

Both are LTE Cat M1 plug-and-play OBD trackers. The FMM80A is specifically designed and certified for the North American market with North American frequency bands and certifications, and has a smaller 115mAh backup battery. The FMM800 is the global version. Choose the FMM80A for US and Canada deployments.

Does the FMM80A read CAN bus data?

No — the FMM80A does not read CAN bus data. It reads standard OBD-II parameters only. For CAN data reading from the vehicle's onboard computer, consider the FMC800 or FMM800 instead.

Is the FMM80A compatible with the Tracking Hardware UK BLE driver identification keypad?

Yes — the FMM80A supports Bluetooth 4.0 and is fully compatible with the Tracking Hardware UK BLE driver identification keypad. Contact us for keypad and FMM80A bundle pricing.

Does the FMM80A need a SIM card?

Yes — the FMM80A requires a SIM card with LTE Cat M1 or NB-IoT capability supporting North American frequency bands. It is not supplied with a SIM. Contact us for SIM recommendations for North American deployments.
