AutoFon - Микро-Маяк

The AvtoFon Micro Beacon (АвтоФон Микро-Маяк) is a compact satellite search and monitoring GPS tracker built on the v.9 platform and supplied pre-configured for automatic operation. Designed for covert installation on cars, scooters, e-bikes and a wide range of mobile assets, this Plaspy compatible tracker combines GLONASS/GPS positioning with cell-tower (LBS) fallback, long autonomous battery life and robust telemetry over GSM/GPRS for reliable asset protection and fleet visibility.

The Micro Beacon is optimized for real-world anti-theft and fleet management workflows. Its small IP64 ABS case (59 × 38 × 20 mm), 900 mAh Li-Polimer rechargeable battery and wide external power range (10.5–58 V with automatic charging) make it suitable for mixed fleets and shared mobility fleets. Pre-registered on the AvtoFon KSA monitoring server and ready for integration with Plaspy, the device delivers real-time tracking, configurable alerts and secure remote management for operators who need a stealthy, low-maintenance GPS tracker.

Key Highlights

• Compact, discreet form factor (59×38×20 mm) for hidden installation and covert anti-theft protection.
• Dual positioning: GLONASS+GPS with AGPS plus LBS fallback ensures location updates even when satellite signals are limited.
• Long standby and active modes — up to 90 days in low-power stealth mode and at least 10 hours in active monitoring.
• Robust telemetry over GSM/GPRS (Quectel M66) with a 30,000-packet black box to store unsent data during connectivity loss.
• One programmable alarm input and one remotely controlled output for tamper detection or remote engine immobilizer control.
• Temperature-hardened charging and operation from −40 to +85 °C, plus IP64 dust/splash resistance for harsh environments.
• Remote firmware updates via GPRS, SMS and automatic APN detection for simplified fleet management and ongoing maintenance.

How It Works with Plaspy

Integrating the AvtoFon Micro Beacon with Plaspy enables consistent real-time tracking and event-driven alerts across mixed fleets. The device transmits GNSS coordinates and telemetry over GSM/GPRS to monitoring platforms; when Plaspy is used as the telematics platform, those data streams feed live maps, history logs and automated rules for notifications and remote actions.

• Real-time location and telemetry updates via GPRS (with SMS fallback) for live tracking and history playback.
• Movement, tamper and anti-tow detection from the 3D accelerometer to trigger immediate Plaspy alerts.
• Remote immobilizer / engine cut capability through the programmable output, controllable from Plaspy when configured.
• Black box storage (30,000 packets) ensures no loss of position history; buffered data uploads to Plaspy when connectivity is restored.
• Configurable alerts (power loss, movement start, prolonged parking, geofence breach) map directly into Plaspy workflows for fleet management and anti-theft response.

Technical Overview

Use Cases

• Fleet management of mixed vehicles — covert tracking for cars, scooters, e-bikes and light commercial vehicles where stealth installation is required.
• Anti-theft protection and recovery — accelerometer-based alerts, LBS fallback and remote immobilizer control to respond to theft attempts.
• Shared mobility and rental fleets (carsharing, scooter/e-bike fleets) — long standby battery and automatic power management reduce maintenance visits.
• Motorcycles, ATVs and off-road vehicles — compact size and temperature-hardened charging for reliable operation in variable climates.
• Remote equipment and IT/network asset protection — hidden installation and power-fallback mechanics keep assets reportable even off-grid.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy

The AvtoFon Micro Beacon offers a practical balance of stealth, battery longevity and robust connectivity that makes it an effective Plaspy compatible GPS tracker for both small and large deployments. Its GLONASS/GPS positioning with LBS fallback keeps assets visible where pure satellite trackers struggle, while the 30,000-packet black box and remote firmware update support reduce data loss and maintenance overhead. For fleet managers and operators seeking reliable telemetry, anti-theft capabilities and remote immobilizer control, integrating Micro Beacon data into Plaspy delivers actionable, real-time insights and alerts.

Additionally, the device’s pre-configuration and included M2M SIM simplify onboarding, and Plaspy’s platform can correlate the Micro Beacon’s location and event data with vehicle telemetry, fuel monitoring inputs (when vehicle sensors are available), ignition/immobilizer workflows and broader fleet management rules to create a complete operational picture. For organizations that need covert anti-theft protection, persistent remote tracking and straightforward integration, the Micro Beacon is a durable, field-proven option that complements Plaspy-based telematics deployments.
