How It Works with Plaspy
When integrated into Plaspy, the FTC880 feeds high-quality GNSS positions and device telemetry into Plaspy’s tracking dashboards and reporting workflows. The tracker’s cellular link transmits location, connectivity status and event reports in near real time while Teltonika’s remote management features simplify firmware updates and configuration management from the cloud.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates sent from FTC880 to Plaspy for live tracking and geofencing.
- Device event reporting (movement, power/connectivity events) visible in Plaspy for alerts and historical logs.
- Remote firmware and configuration management through Teltonika FOTA WEB integrated into device lifecycle workflows.
- Battery-operated tracking with configurable reporting intervals to balance real-time visibility and power consumption.
- When combined with vehicle telemetry inputs or Plaspy peripherals, operators can build workflows for fuel monitoring, ignition detection, immobilizer control or Bluetooth sensors — leveraging Plaspy’s telemetry and alerting capabilities.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy
Choosing the FTC880 as your Plaspy compatible GPS tracker brings together rugged hardware, high-quality position data and a managed device lifecycle. The IP69K enclosure and proven Teltonika hardware ensure dependable operation in washdown and dusty environments, while improved GNSS reception (up to 41 visible satellites) delivers better accuracy for low-speed and stationary scenarios often encountered with heavy equipment.
For fleet managers and system integrators, the combination of LTE Cat 1 cellular connectivity with 2G fallback, Teltonika FOTA WEB support and Plaspy integration reduces operational overhead by simplifying remote updates and configuration. The FTC880 is optimized for telemetry use cases where anti-theft workflows, fuel monitoring, ignition-based reporting and peripheral sensor data (for example Bluetooth sensors when integrated into a Plaspy solution) are orchestrated by the platform — giving you scalable, real-time tracking and reporting across mixed fleets and assets.
