Teltonika FTM887

Teltonika FTM887 — Next-Generation LTE Cat M1 Battery-Mounted GPS Tracker with Dead Reckoning and IP69K

The Teltonika FTM887 is the LTE Cat M1 version of Teltonika's next-generation FTx887 battery-mounted tracker — one of the most advanced and easy-to-install GPS trackers Teltonika has ever produced. Built on Teltonika's cutting-edge FT platform, the FTM887 brings together three technologies that set it apart from any previous battery-mounted device in Teltonika's range — dead reckoning for uninterrupted tracking even when GPS signals are lost, up to 41 visible satellites for significantly enhanced GNSS accuracy, and IP69K maximum waterproof protection for operation in the harshest conditions.

Installation could not be simpler — the U-type cable connects directly to the vehicle battery in minutes without specialist tools or technical knowledge, making the FTM887 ideal for clients who want to avoid the cost and complexity of hardwired installations. The robust IP69K-rated casing then ensures the device continues operating reliably whether it is mounted under a seat, in an engine bay or exposed to high-pressure washing on construction machinery.

As an official Teltonika distributor in the UK, Tracking Hardware UK ships the FTM887 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 the full journey

• 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 — designed for key global markets including the US, Canada, Australia and Japan

• 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 level of ingress protection 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

• 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 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 extended stationary periods

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

Driver Identification with Tracking Hardware UK BLE Keypad

The FTM887 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.

FTM887 vs FTC887 — Which Should You Choose?

Both the FTM887 and FTC887 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 coverage — designed specifically for key global markets including the United States, Canada, Australia and Japan. For UK deployments, the FTC887 is recommended. For international or global IoT network deployments, the FTM887 is the correct choice.
