Initially, this technology will be used in a range of automotive and personal trackers including the FMB001 (OBD – easy), FMB120 (advanced), FMB640 (professional), TMT250 (personal tracker) and others. These will be used in everything from cars, to security hardware, to field services systems for enterprises.

Another focus of the partnership will be to explore LTE-M and NB-IoT, a move that is intended to demonstrate both companies’ commitment to improving the whole IoT ecosystem for businesses, devices and the people that use them.

This partnership will simplify the deployment of tracking services worldwide to the hundreds of Teltonika enterprise customers — all using the power of the Truphone technology and connectivity.

Bruno Duarte, Truphone’s Head of IoT/M2M commented: “Teltonika is a major IoT innovator, and one of the world’s largest tracking and networking hardware manufacturers. As an eSIM pioneer and the only truly global cellular connectivity provider, Truphone is a natural partner for this smart and forward-thinking company. Together we will be taking an enormous leap towards realising the true potential of IoT.”
