TCA type-approves Teltonika’s telematics device as first ‘white-label’ device for ASPs
In a first-of-its kind agreement, Transport Certification Australia (TCA) has type-approved Teltonika Telematics’ FMC650-MCX650 as a ‘white-label’ telematics device.
This enables TCA’s certified and registered application service providers (ASPs) to adopt the device for providing services within the National Telematics Framework – subject to meeting further assessment criteria by TCA.
Details of the new type-approved telematics device from Teltonika are listed below:
| Provider | Device model | Level of assurance supported* |
| Teltonika Telematics | FMC650-MCX650 Firmware details: 03.00.16.Rev.304_1059 | Levels 2,1 |
Paddy Goodall, Austroads General Manager of Service Delivery, congratulated Teltonika Telematics on the achievement.
“Obtaining type-approval for the FMC650-MCX650 provides Teltonika Telematics customers and partners with confidence that the telematics device has been independently assessed and meets the performance-based requirements outlined in the Telematics Device Functional and Technical Specification,” he said.
“This white-label approach provides flexibility to telematics providers wishing to become a certified ASP. Leveraging the availability of the type-approved Teltonika device means that telematics providers can choose to overcome the need to present their own device for type-approval as part of the certification process.
“Existing ASPs may also elect to use the Teltonika’s telematics device – so long as they can demonstrate to TCA how the device and the data it generates is incorporated into the ASP’s system,” he explained.
Kęstutis Grauslys, Chief Executive Officer of Teltonika Australia, said obtaining the type-approval from TCA was a significant milestone for the company.
“As a hardware manufacturer with a strong connection to our local market, we are encouraging our technology partners to use our type-approved telematics device for RIM and TMA schemes. For our partners looking to become TCA certified, our type-approved device can bring significant time and cost savings and reduce time to market,” he said.
“Teltonika has long shown a commitment to industry leading compliance across the globe. I’m very proud to see Australia now added to that list with TCA. My team and I look forward to helping more Australian businesses reach their full potential,” he added.
