Teltonika FTM305 – LTE Cat M1 e-mobility tracker with CAN interface and IP67 enclosure
The Teltonika FTM305 is designed for organizations that want to monitor electric vehicles and machines within e-mobility and industrial applications. Think e-bikes, e-scooters and electric forklifts, where visibility into location and vehicle data is essential for operational management, maintenance planning and fleet control. In these environments, it is important that tracking hardware is compact, can be robustly mounted and operates stably in a variety of conditions.
The FTM305 combines mobile IoT connectivity with GNSS positioning and a CAN interface for reading vehicle data. Thanks to its IP67 enclosure, the device is suitable for applications where dust and water play a role. The wide power supply range from 10 to 97 V DC supports integration into different electrical systems, making one tracker deployable across multiple vehicle types within the same fleet.
Why the Teltonika FTM305?
The FTM305 is suitable for e-mobility environments where standard trackers are not sufficient due to voltage differences, outdoor mounting or need for CAN data. The combination of IP67, CAN interface and wide power supply range makes the device applicable for a variety of electric vehicles and machines. By supporting LTE Cat M1 and NB-IoT, the tracker is designed for IoT communication with relatively low power consumption and suitable for large-scale deployments. In practice, this helps organizations make vehicle data and location information centrally available within fleet and asset management processes.
Connectivity specifications
The Teltonika FTM305 supports LTE Cat M1, NB-IoT and GSM/GPRS, depending on the version. These networks are intended for IoT applications where coverage, efficient data usage and energy-efficient communication are important. This suits telematics scenarios where location and status information is sent periodically.
Number of SIM slots
1× Nano-SIM.
Technical network specifications
The FTM305 supports data transmission over LTE Cat M1 with maximum data rates of up to 588 kbps (download) and 1119 kbps (upload). For versions with NB-IoT, maximum data rates are up to 127 kbps (download) and 158.5 kbps (upload). When using GPRS, data transmission is possible up to 107 kbps (download) and 85.6 kbps (upload). In a B2B context, this means the tracker is tuned for telematics and monitoring data, such as location updates, events and vehicle parameters, rather than bandwidth-intensive applications.
Remote management
Configuration and firmware updates are supported via FOTA Web and the Teltonika Telematics Configurator (TCT). This enables remote management, which is relevant for organizations that deploy trackers scattered across vehicles and locations and want to perform updates centrally.
Environment and hardware
The FTM305 has a compact design (69 × 41 × 20.9 mm) and weighs 76.8 g. This supports installation in vehicles where limited space is available. The device is designed for vehicle power and supports a wide input voltage range of 10-97 V DC. In addition, the tracker features an internal backup battery of 380 mAh (Li-ion, 3.7 V), intended to support short interruptions in external power supply.
In terms of deployment environment, the FTM305 is suitable for temperatures from -30 °C to +85 °C. The IP67 rating makes the device suitable for applications where dust exposure and water contact may occur. In practice, this means that the tracker can be deployed in vehicles and mobile assets used outdoors, in logistics environments or in industrial applications.
Specific certifications
The Teltonika FTM305 includes the IP67 rating as an enclosure specification.
Applications
The Teltonika FTM305 is suitable for e-mobility management and telematics in applications where GNSS tracking and vehicle data are relevant. Examples are e-bike and e-scooter sharing, management of electric forklifts and monitoring of electric equipment in logistics or industry. The CAN interface is relevant when vehicle parameters need to be read via CAN, for example for operational status information or battery and performance data. The combination of compact construction, IP67 enclosure and wide power supply range makes the FTM305 deployable in a variety of vehicle platforms within a single fleet.
