Teltonika FTC887

Teltonika FTC887 — Next-Generation 4G LTE Cat 1 Battery-Mounted GPS Tracker with Dead Reckoning and IP69K

The Teltonika FTC887 is the 4G LTE Cat 1 version of Teltonika's next-generation FTx887 battery-mounted tracker series — the recommended choice for UK and European fleet deployments requiring the latest dead reckoning technology, IP69K durability and ultra-fast installation. Built on Teltonika's advanced Fleet Telematics platform, the FTC887 brings together three technologies that define the next generation of battery-mounted tracking — dead reckoning for uninterrupted positioning even when GPS signals are lost, up to 41 visible satellites for significantly enhanced accuracy, and IP69K maximum waterproof protection for the harshest operating conditions.

Installation is as simple as connecting the U-type cable directly to the vehicle battery — no additional mounting costs, no specialist tools and no technical knowledge required. The robust IP69K-rated casing then ensures the device continues operating reliably whether it is mounted under a seat, in an engine bay or on construction machinery subject to regular pressure washing. For clients needing more advanced functionality such as immobiliser scenarios or additional I/O interfaces alongside dead reckoning, the FTC927 is the natural companion device.

As an official Teltonika distributor in the UK, Tracking Hardware UK ships the FTC887 directly from our London warehouse — with trade pricing available for telematics service providers, fleet operators and resellers.

Key Features

• Dead reckoning — uses integrated accelerometer and gyroscope to continue calculating accurate vehicle position when GNSS satellite signals are lost in tunnels, underground car parks and urban canyons — providing uninterrupted tracking and accurate virtual odometer data throughout every journey

• 4G LTE Cat 1 with 2G fallback — fast and reliable connectivity for real-time fleet tracking on modern UK and European networks with automatic 2G fallback — the recommended LTE standard for UK deployments Up to

• 41 visible satellites — enhanced multi-constellation GNSS with GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou tracking up to 41 satellites simultaneously for significantly improved positioning accuracy

• 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 industrial environments

• Ultra-fast U-type cable installation — connects directly to the vehicle battery in minutes without specialist tools or technical knowledge, eliminating the need for costly professional installation

• BLE 5.4 — latest generation Bluetooth Low Energy for connecting EYE Sensors and driver identification accessories with improved range and reliability

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

• Smart ignition detection — automatically detects ignition on and off by monitoring external voltage patterns, simplifying installation

• Crash detection — built-in accelerometer and gyroscope detect and record impact events with accurate crash data for accident reconstruction and insurance evidence

• Tow detection — triggers 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

• Excessive idling detection — monitors prolonged engine idling for fuel efficiency

• Geofencing — up to 50 configurable zone alerts

• Optimised sleep modes — online sleep, deep sleep and power off modes significantly reduce vehicle battery drainage during stationary periods

• Pulse 5b compliant — ISO 16750-2:2012 certified for vehicle electrical and electronic systems

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

Driver Identification with Tracking Hardware UK BLE Keypad

The FTC887 supports BLE 5.4 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.

FTC887 vs FTM887 — Which Should You Choose?

Both the FTC887 and FTM887 are built on the same FT platform with dead reckoning, up to 41 visible satellites, IP69K protection, BLE 5.4 and U-type cable installation. The FTC887 uses LTE Cat 1 for faster data speeds on standard 4G networks — the recommended choice for UK and European deployments. The FTM887 uses LTE Cat M1 and NB-IoT for broader global IoT network coverage — designed for international deployments across the US, Canada, Australia and Japan. For UK fleet deployments, the FTC887 is the correct choice.

FTC887 vs FTC927 — Which Should You Choose?

Both are next-generation FT platform 4G LTE Cat 1 trackers with dead reckoning and up to 41 visible satellites. The FTC887 is battery-mounted via U-type cable for ultra-fast installation with IP69K protection — ideal for clients wanting to avoid installation costs and complexity. The FTC927 is a standard wired tracker with additional I/O interfaces for immobiliser scenarios, additional inputs and more complex installations. Choose FTC887 for maximum installation simplicity. Choose FTC927 for advanced wired installations requiring immobiliser control or multiple I/Os.
