Fleet Telematics Hardware Guide
FMC650, FTC305, FMC130, and FMC800 — which device do you need?
Pacific Fleet Systems uses purpose-designed telematics hardware from Teltonika — one of the world's leading telematics hardware manufacturers. Different asset types require different devices, depending on the connectivity environment, CAN bus protocol, and data requirements.
This guide explains which device is right for each asset type — and why.
FMC650 — Heavy Machinery
The FMC650 is our primary device for heavy mining and construction equipment. Its multi-carrier SIM and satellite backup make it suitable for remote mine sites in the Pilbara, Bowen Basin, and Goldfields where single-carrier devices fail. The IP67 rating and extended temperature range ensure reliable operation in the harshest Australian conditions.
FTC305 — Commercial Vehicles
The FTC305 is designed for commercial vehicles — trucks, semi-trailers, and rigid trucks. It supports the FMS (Fleet Management Standard) protocol used by European truck manufacturers (Volvo, Scania, Mercedes, MAN), as well as J1939 for Australian-spec trucks. Driver behaviour scoring (harsh braking, acceleration, cornering) is available as an add-on.
FMC130 — Light Fleet
The FMC130 is a plug-and-play device for light vehicles — it connects directly to the OBDII port under the dashboard, requiring no wiring. Installation takes 5 minutes. It's ideal for utes, vans, and passenger vehicles where simplicity and low installation cost are priorities.
FMC800 — Forklifts & Stationary Plant
The FMC800 is designed for forklifts and stationary plant — assets that operate on 24V or 48V battery systems rather than standard 12V vehicle power. It supports operator ID (iButton or RFID), impact detection for WHS compliance, and service hour alerts for maintenance scheduling.
