Evaluation firmware branches

Newly introduced Teltonika Telematics products start their lifecycle and mass production running evaluation branch firmware versions, which may be based on older BASE firmware version or separate firmware branch, therefore may have different features. Such products do not immediately receive identical improvements as products in BASE firmware until their support is added. Currently such products are:
