Designed for vehicle battery mounting, the FTC887 features IP69K protection against dust, high-pressure water and steam. With its internal High Gain GNSS and GSM antennas, USB Type-C, Nano-SIM and 320 mAh backup battery, this model is aimed at vehicle applications where quick installation, rugged housing and accurate positioning come together.
4G LTE Cat 1 GPS tracker positioning for vehicle tracking, theft protection and harsh environments
The FTC887 is positioned as a battery-mounted tracker for applications where fast installation, robust protection and location tracking are important. The vendor links this model to use cases such as stolen vehicle recovery with dead reckoning, basic track & trace for heavy machinery, insurance telematics, car sharing, rental, leasing, e-mobility management and agriculture, construction & mining. Dead reckoning supports tracking when GPS signal is limited or unavailable, such as in tunnels, urban canyons, remote areas and underground parking garages. The IP69K housing matches environments where protection from dust, high-pressure water and steam is required. Thus, the FTC887 fits into professional vehicle solutions where ease of mounting, tracking continuity and physical protection are important.

FTC887 technology, dead reckoning and vehicle tracking integration
The Teltonika FTC887 combines LTE Cat 1 mobile connectivity with GNSS, Bluetooth LE, dead reckoning and sensor data for vehicle tracking. The tracker uses the Quectel EG915U-EU module with AG3335 and supports LTE FDD Cat 1 data rates of up to 10 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload. For positioning, the model supports GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO and BEIDOU, with an L1 75-channel receiver and a position accuracy of < 1.8 m CEP. The tracker features an accelerometer and gyroscope, supporting scenarios such as crash detection, drag detection, static navigation, trip, odometer and fall down detection. With battery-mounted installation and IP69K enclosure, the FTC887 fits into vehicle installations where compact mounting and protection from harsh conditions are required.
FTC887 management and configuration
For configuration and firmware updates, the FTC887 supports FOTA WEB and the Teltonika Configuration Tool (TCT). FOTA WEB is positioned by Teltonika as a remote device management solution for firmware and configuration updates with smart groups and schedules. The quick manual additionally describes PC connection via USB Type-C and configuration via TCT on Windows 10 and Windows 11. Time synchronization is possible via GNSS, NITZ and NTP. Thus, the FTC887 connects to management processes in which configuration, firmware and device settings are managed locally or remotely.
