Teltonika TAT140 — 4G LTE Cat 1 Worldwide Asset Tracker with 3-Year Battery

The Teltonika TAT140 is a compact, versatile and long-lasting 4G LTE Cat 1 asset tracker designed for reliable worldwide monitoring of non-powered assets — from vehicles and trailers to containers, construction equipment, tools and high-value goods. Powered by a swappable 2,200mAh Lithium-Thionyl Chloride non-rechargeable battery with an extremely low self-discharge rate, the TAT140 delivers up to 3 years of standalone operation without any external power supply, making it one of the most deployable and low-maintenance asset trackers available.

IP68 waterproof and dustproof, with magnetic mounting for tool-free installation on any metal surface and tamper detection to alert when the device is removed, the TAT140 combines ease of deployment with genuine security capability. Bluetooth 4.2 connectivity extends its monitoring reach via Teltonika EYE Sensors and ELA sensors for indoor and warehouse asset tracking, and configurable movement-based reporting intelligently optimises battery life by reporting more frequently when assets are moving and less frequently when stationary.

As an official Teltonika distributor in the UK, Tracking Hardware UK ships the TAT140 directly from our London warehouse — with trade pricing available for telematics service providers, fleet operators and resellers.

• 128MB internal flash memory — stores data locally when out of network coverage

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

TAT140 vs TAT141 — Which Should You Choose?

Both the TAT140 and TAT141 are IP68 asset trackers with swappable Li-SOCl2 batteries, Bluetooth LE, movement-based reporting, recovery mode and magnetic mounting. The TAT140 uses LTE Cat 1 for faster data speeds on standard 4G networks — the recommended choice for UK and European deployments where 4G Cat 1 coverage is strong. The TAT141 uses LTE Cat M1 and NB-IoT for broader global IoT coverage and extends battery life up to 5 years when used as a Bluetooth backup tracker alongside Teltonika wired trackers. Choose the TAT140 for standard UK and European deployments. Choose the TAT141 for international IoT network deployments or encrypted Bluetooth backup tracking applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the TAT140 battery last?

The TAT140 delivers up to 3 years of battery life with the swappable 2,200mAh Lithium-Thionyl Chloride battery. Actual battery life depends on reporting frequency, temperature, signal strength and enabled features. The battery is swappable in the field without returning the device for servicing.

What is the difference between the TAT140 and the TAT141?

Both share the same IP68 housing, swappable battery, Bluetooth LE and magnetic mounting. The TAT140 uses LTE Cat 1 for faster data on standard 4G networks. The TAT141 uses LTE Cat M1 and NB-IoT for broader global IoT coverage and offers up to 5 years battery life as a Bluetooth backup tracker. For UK and European deployments the TAT140 is the recommended choice.

What is the difference between the TAT140 and the TAT240?

The TAT140 uses a swappable battery for up to 3 years standalone operation. The TAT240 uses a sealed 2,200mAh battery and adds magnetic tamper detection for instant removal alerts. Choose the TAT140 for long-term battery-powered deployments. Choose the TAT240 when tamper detection is the priority.

Can the TAT140 be used for vehicle tracking?

Yes — the TAT140's compact concealable size and magnetic mounting make it ideal for discreet vehicle tracking. It can be placed underneath a vehicle on a metal surface in minutes, providing periodic location reporting without any wiring.

Can I buy the TAT140 in bulk from Tracking Hardware UK?

Yes — we supply telematics service providers, fleet operators and resellers across the UK and internationally. Volume pricing and trade accounts are available. Contact us for a bulk quote.

Does the TAT140 support driver identification?

The TAT140 is a long-life battery asset tracker with no external wiring, so driver identification keypads do not apply to it. For the vehicles in your fleet, pair a wired tracker such as the Teltonika FMB920 or FMC130 with an iButton, RFID or BLE driver identification keypad — Tracking Hardware UK supplies both.
