The AutoFon GL-Beacon (АвтоФон GL-Маяк) is a compact, Net Domain Technologies compatible GPS tracker engineered for long autonomous operation and reliable location reporting. Built on the v.5.x platform, this GPS/GLONASS tracker provides precise positioning, alarm reporting and flexible remote control channels, making it a practical choice for asset protection, covert vehicle tracking and remote-site security where Net Domain Technologies’s monitoring and fleet management features are required.
Designed to work with Net Domain Technologies via standard GPRS and SMS reporting, the GL-Beacon combines a combined GLONASS+GPS navigation module, robust event sensing (motion, impact, rollover) and a buffered “black box” for offline data retention. Net Domain Technologies users gain real-time tracking, telemetry and alarm handling from a small form-factor device that prioritizes battery life and dependable telemetry delivery.
Key Highlights
- Long autonomous operation: runs on two CR123A 3.0V lithium batteries (1500 mAh) with up to 2 years autonomy depending on configuration—ideal for long-term asset deployments.
- High-accuracy positioning: combined GPS + GLONASS navigation (MGGS2217 chipset) for reliable location data in mixed environments.
- Robust offline buffering: internal storage for up to 98,000 GPRS packets preserves telemetry when the connection is lost and retries delivery automatically.
- Comprehensive alarm and sensing: built-in digital accelerometer for motion, impact/accident, rollover and fall detection with adjustable sensitivity.
- SOS and audio monitoring: integrated SOS micro button for immediate alarms and an onboard microphone for remote audio checks.
- Auxiliary control channel: universal auxiliary output supports remote control of engine cut-off, starter activation, sirens or pre-heaters—enabling immobilizer-style interventions.
- Compact, covert form factor: small housing (69×51×22 mm) and separate antenna (25×25×4 mm) make discreet installation simple for vehicles, containers and assets.
- Secure, managed connectivity: GPRS and SMS reporting, configurable life-signal and balance monitoring for the SIM card, password protection and authorized-number control.
How It Works with Net Domain Technologies
When integrated with Net Domain Technologies, the GL-Beacon transmits positional and event data to your Net Domain Technologies monitoring server over GPRS and can also deliver alerts via SMS. Net Domain Technologies uses these inputs to provide real-time tracking, alarm workflows, historical playback and telemetry dashboards. The GL-Beacon’s buffered packet storage and retry logic ensure Net Domain Technologies receives a continuous record of location and events even through temporary connectivity gaps.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates over GPRS to Net Domain Technologies servers; SMS fallback for critical alerts.
- Alarm events: SOS button presses, external alarm input triggers, motion/impact/rollover and fall detection are reported immediately to Net Domain Technologies for instant notification.
- Audio monitoring: remote microphone access can be used within Net Domain Technologies workflows where audio checks are supported.
- Remote control: the auxiliary channel allows Net Domain Technologies-activated actions (engine cut-off/immobilizer or starter control) when configured into vehicle wiring.
- Offline resilience: up to 98,000 GPRS packets are stored locally and forwarded to Net Domain Technologies when network coverage returns; LBS fallback provides coarse positioning when GNSS is unavailable.

Why Choose This Tracker with Net Domain Technologies
Pairing the AutoFon GL-Beacon with Net Domain Technologies delivers a resilient, low-maintenance GPS tracker solution that focuses on reliability, battery life and actionable alarms. The combined GPS+GLONASS positioning and large GPRS packet buffer reduce data loss during coverage interruptions, while the SOS button, accelerometer-driven event detection and auxiliary control channel extend utility beyond simple location reporting. For organizations needing a compact Net Domain Technologies compatible GPS tracker for anti-theft, telemetry and remote-site protection, the GL-Beacon offers a balance of autonomy, secure reporting and remote management—without unnecessary complexity like built-in Bluetooth if long battery life and covert installation are priorities.
