Teltonika - FTC305

The FTC305 is a compact 4G LTE Cat 1 GPS tracker purpose-built for e-mobility and fleet telematics. Plaspy compatible out of the box, the FTC305 brings robust, vehicle-grade telemetry to e-bikes, forklifts, shuttle cars, utility machinery and other electric transport, combining durable IP67 protection with high-voltage support and flexible installation options.

Designed to deliver reliable real-time tracking and detailed CAN-bus telemetry, the FTC305 integrates with Plaspy to support fleet management workflows, anti-theft response and operational analytics. With variant radio profiles, external antenna support and optional external backup batteries, the FTC305 is a practical choice where precise GNSS position, steady cellular connectivity and custom CAN parameter monitoring matter.

Key Highlights

• Plaspy compatible: integrates CAN-bus telemetry and GNSS data into Plaspy for real-time tracking and reporting.
• 4G LTE Cat 1 with 2G fallback: modern cellular connectivity for broad coverage and longevity in many regions.
• Wide input power (10–97 V): supports high-voltage e-mobility platforms such as e-bikes, forklifts and utility vehicles.
• IP67 rugged casing with no-casing factory-installation variant: choose sealed outdoor installation or an embedded module for frame mounting.
• Enhanced GNSS accuracy with support for external GNSS antenna to improve fix reliability in challenging environments.
• CAN-bus reading and custom CAN parameter databases: extract vehicle telemetry for fuel monitoring, ignition events and other ECU-derived metrics when available.
• Flexible ordering and packaging: standard packages and customizable no-casing kits (with external antenna adapters and optional external backup battery).
• External backup battery option: larger external 1200 mAh battery available in custom factory packages for extended power resilience.

How It Works with Plaspy

When paired with Plaspy, the FTC305 streams positional fixes and CAN-bus telemetry into your Plaspy instance for live maps, alerts and historical reports. Plaspy ingests location and vehicle data so fleet managers can monitor route adherence, vehicle state and key metrics in real time. The device’s external antenna options and robust power range help maintain continuous connectivity across e-mobility fleets.

• Real-time location and telemetry updates delivered to Plaspy for mapping and geofencing.
• CAN-bus data available for Plaspy dashboards — useful for fuel monitoring proxies, RPM, battery state and ignition event detection when those signals are exposed on the vehicle CAN.
• Supports external GNSS and cellular antennas to improve signal reception and reduce loss of fixes.
• Backup battery options provide short-term operation during main power loss, enabling Plaspy to raise anti-theft alerts or position traces even when vehicle power is removed.
• Packaging and variant options simplify integration into custom fleet management deployments, with factory-install variants for embedded installations.

Technical Overview

Use Cases

• Fleet management for electric vehicles: monitor location, duty cycles and CAN-derived telemetry for operational efficiency and maintenance planning.
• Anti-theft tracking and rapid response: real-time position reporting with backup-battery resilience to detect and respond to unauthorized movement or power tampering via Plaspy workflows.
• Material handling and industrial e-mobility: install on forklifts, utility carts and shuttle vehicles to capture usage data, ignition events and route history for productivity analysis.
• Embedded vehicle integrations: use the no-casing, external antenna and battery options for discreet installations inside vehicle frames or custom housings.
• Telemetry-based analytics: combine CAN-bus signals with positional data in Plaspy to support fuel monitoring proxies, battery state tracking and custom KPIs for electric fleets.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy

The FTC305 is a pragmatic choice when you need a compact, Plaspy compatible GPS tracker that handles the electrical realities of e-mobility platforms. Its wide 10–97 V input and IP67 package make it suitable for a variety of electric transport, while CAN-bus reading delivers richer telemetry than location alone. With LTE Cat 1 connectivity, external antenna support and configurable packaging, the FTC305 fits both off-the-shelf fleet management deployments and custom embedded installations.

Pairing FTC305 telemetry with Plaspy gives you actionable real-time tracking, telemetry-driven alerts and historical reporting for fleet managers. Use the custom CAN parameter database to surface vehicle-specific metrics in Plaspy dashboards — unlocking fuel monitoring proxies, ignition event tracking and operational insights that matter for e-mobility. Before procurement, verify current availability and support status for FTC305 SKUs and EOL notices on the manufacturer’s product page to ensure long-term serviceability.
