Main Page > OBD Trackers > FMC003 > FMC003 Manual > FMC003 General description

FMC003 is a tracking terminal with GNSS and GSM connectivity, which is able to collect device coordinates and transfer them via GSM network to a server. This device is perfectly suitable for applications, which require the location acquirement of remote objects. FMC003 is an advanced plug and play LTE CAT1 device dedicated for next generation of OBD applications. The main feature of FMC003 is its possibility to read OEM parameters (PIDs) via OBD port. With this device, you will be able to read Real Odometer and Real Fuel Level data. What’s more, our device comes with the supported vehicles and data list, so no need to guess anymore – now you know what data you can read from a specific vehicle. It is a perfect tracker for a wide range of use cases – including fleet management of light commercial vehicles, driver log-book, insurance telematics (UBI), car rental & leasing and more.
