AvtoFon Mega-Beacon (АвтоФон Мега‑Маяк)

The AvtoFon Mega‑Beacon is a compact, long‑life autonomous GPS/GLONASS tracker designed for precise location of movable and stationary valuables. Built for covert placement and extended unattended operation, this Plaspy compatible GPS tracker combines satellite positioning with cellular LBS and Wi‑Fi identifiers to give reliable location fixes, timely event reports and configurable alerts for anti‑theft protection and asset recovery.

Engineered for integration with monitoring platforms such as Plaspy, the Mega‑Beacon transmits location and event data over 2G GPRS or SMS and supports server commands and remote firmware updates. Its very low power consumption, BLE presence tagging and robust alarm features make it a practical choice for fleet management, telemetry reporting and long‑term asset tracking where maintenance access is limited.

Key Highlights

• Up to six years of autonomous operation on three non‑rechargeable AA lithium batteries (3000 mAh total) for long‑term deployments and low maintenance.
• Hybrid positioning: GLONASS + GPS with AGPS, plus Wi‑Fi positioning and cellular base‑station (LBS) assistance for reliable location in varied environments.
• GPRS (2G GSM) reporting and SMS alerts for flexible real‑time tracking and emergency notifications to Plaspy or phone numbers.
• IP67 hermetic housing with tamper/photo sensor and compact dimensions (83 × 50 × 26 mm) suitable for discreet installation in vehicles, trailers, containers or portable assets.
• Built‑in digital accelerometer with movement, rollover (>90°) and high‑G crash (>8G) detection for prompt incident and anti‑theft alerts.
• Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) module for owner presence detection, BLE‑based ranging and integration with Bluetooth sensors or beacons.
• Local configuration via Micro‑USB and remote management through SMS and server GPRS commands; optional microphone for remote audio monitoring.

How It Works with Plaspy

The Mega‑Beacon sends location and event telemetry to Plaspy using its GPRS/SMS protocol. Plaspy receives real‑time tracking updates, alarm events and status messages, enabling immediate visualization, alerting and historical reporting. The device also accepts server commands over GPRS and can be configured remotely from the Plaspy platform for reporting frequency, alarm thresholds and power‑saving modes.

• Real‑time location and telemetry updates delivered to Plaspy via GPRS (and SMS for critical alerts or fallback).
• Accelerometer‑driven events: movement start, impact/crash, rollover, parking/motion notifications for anti‑theft and incident detection.
• BLE presence tagging and BLE‑based ranging data for proximity-based workflows and owner detection.
• Device status reporting including battery level, battery discharge alerts, tamper/photo sensor events and temperature notifications.
• Black‑box memory retransmission: unsent packets and alarms are stored and retried to ensure reliable data delivery to Plaspy.

Technical Overview

Use Cases

• Anti‑theft protection and rapid recovery of cars, motorcycles, bicycles and personal vehicles where covert long‑term tracking is needed.
• Cargo, container and trailer monitoring for logistics: unattended assets that require periodic telemetry and location checks.
• Fleet management scenarios where low‑maintenance tracking and event reporting (movement, crash, tamper) integrate into Plaspy dashboards.
• Asset supervision for small machinery, boats or specialty equipment needing durable IP67 protection and long battery life.
• Personal safety and monitoring for children, elderly persons or pets using BLE presence, SOS alerts and discreet placement options.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy

The AvtoFon Mega‑Beacon is a Plaspy compatible GPS tracker that balances ultra‑low power consumption with multiple positioning methods and resilient reporting. Its long battery life and IP67 hermetic design reduce maintenance and support long deployments, while built‑in accelerometer alarms, tamper detection and BLE presence tagging give versatile anti‑theft and proximity capabilities. For operators using Plaspy, the Mega‑Beacon delivers dependable real‑time tracking, telemetry and event data with server command support and remote firmware updates, making it easy to scale, configure and manage fleets or individual high‑value assets.

While the unit focuses on compact autonomous tracking, it complements broader Plaspy fleet workflows and telemetry systems — for example, integrating Mega‑Beacon location and sensor data into Plaspy dashboards and alert rules alongside vehicle systems that provide ignition, immobilizer or fuel information. This makes the Mega‑Beacon a practical addition to mixed installations where discreet long‑term tracking and robust event reporting are priorities.
