FTM880 — Teltonika battery-mounted GPS tracker (Plaspy compatible)
The FTM880 is a next-generation battery-mounted GPS tracker from Teltonika designed for demanding fleet telematics and heavy-duty asset tracking. Built for long-term, maintenance-free deployments, the FTM880 delivers rugged IP69K protection, enhanced multi-constellation GNSS performance, and cellular connectivity options (LTE Cat M1 with NB‑IoT support on M1 variants) that make it a reliable choice for Plaspy compatible installations that require robust real-time tracking and telemetry.
Optimized sleep modes and a compact, sealed form factor reduce the need for frequent maintenance and wiring, so you can deploy the FTM880 on trailers, heavy machinery, containers and remote assets with confidence. When integrated with Plaspy, this GPS tracker supports live position updates, geofencing, alerts and remote device management through Teltonika FOTA WEB and the FT platform — enabling scalable fleet management, anti-theft monitoring and asset telemetry from a single dashboard.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible: designed to integrate with fleet management platforms for real-time tracking and alerts.
- Battery-mounted and maintenance-free: ideal where wiring is impractical or temporary installations are required.
- LTE Cat M1 and NB‑IoT connectivity (M1 variant) for efficient cellular telemetry and extended coverage.
- Enhanced multi-constellation GNSS with up to 41 visible satellites for improved positioning on heavy equipment and in challenging environments.
- IP69K-rated rugged enclosure protects against dust, high-pressure water and steam — suitable for agriculture, mining and construction.
- Optimized sleep modes to extend operational lifetime and minimise vehicle battery drainage.
- Remote management support via Teltonika FOTA WEB and FT platform for firmware updates and device provisioning.
How It Works with Plaspy
Connecting the FTM880 to Plaspy turns a rugged, battery-powered GPS tracker into a full telemetry node for fleet management and anti-theft workflows. The tracker transmits location and available telemetry over LTE Cat M1 / NB‑IoT to Plaspy-compatible servers; Plaspy then processes real-time tracking, geofence events and alerts and presents them on maps, dashboards and reports.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates sent over LTE Cat M1 / NB‑IoT to Plaspy for live tracking and historical route playback.
- Geofencing and alerts: set perimeter triggers and receive instant notifications in Plaspy when assets enter or leave configured zones.
- Ignition, door or alarm status: Plaspy can record and use these inputs for reports and rules when such signals are exposed by the tracker or wiring harness.
- Fuel monitoring and telemetry: Plaspy supports fuel-related reports where external sensors or vehicle telematics are connected to the tracker or platform.
- Remote immobilizer and control: when supported by your installation, Plaspy can coordinate immobilizer or remote-cut actions via digital outputs exposed by compatible trackers.
- Remote firmware updates and device provisioning via Teltonika FOTA WEB and FT platform — accessible through Plaspy-compatible workflows for large fleets.

Use Cases
- Fleet management for heavy‑duty vehicles and trailers where wiring is impractical — enables real-time tracking and route history in Plaspy.
- Anti‑theft and basic immobilization workflows for construction and mining equipment when combined with Plaspy rules and compatible outputs.
- Logistics and container tracking across remote sites, using long-life battery operation and robust IP69K protection.
- Agriculture and field equipment telemetry where enhanced GNSS performance improves position accuracy across open and obstructed terrain.
- Track & trace for deployed assets such as generators, trailers and heavy machinery requiring low-maintenance monitoring.
Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy
When you need a Plaspy compatible GPS tracker for challenging environments, the FTM880 offers a practical blend of rugged design, efficient cellular telemetry and remote management capabilities. Its battery-mounted form factor and optimized sleep modes reduce maintenance cycles for fleets and heavy assets, while enhanced GNSS and IP69K protection ensure reliable positioning and long-term durability. Using Teltonika FOTA WEB and the FT platform, operations teams can scale device provisioning, push firmware updates and maintain visibility across deployments from within Plaspy, enabling better fleet management, telemetry reporting and anti-theft controls.
Before purchasing, confirm SKU radio bands and available interfaces for your region and verify current availability due to the product’s End‑of‑Life indicator. If you require ignition inputs, immobilizer outputs, fuel monitoring or Bluetooth sensor support for a specific workflow, validate those options with Teltonika or your distributor so Plaspy integration covers all required telemetry and control points.
