AutoFon - Микро-Маяк +

The АвтоФон Микро‑Маяк + (AutoFon Micro‑Beacon Plus) is a highly compact, autonomous GPS tracker engineered for reliable positioning and standby protection of valuable mobile assets. Plaspy compatible out of the box, this device combines GLONASS/GPS satellite positioning, GSM/GPRS reporting, and a unique 868 MHz short‑range radio direction finding mode to keep assets visible in real time and recoverable when stolen or lost.

The Micro‑Beacon Plus is built for fleet management and anti‑theft applications where small size, long battery life and flexible operating modes matter. Preconfigured for the AutoFon KSA monitoring server and supplied with an M2M SIM, it delivers continuous telemetry, motion alerts and remote control outputs that integrate with Plaspy for centralized real‑time tracking, event alerts and historical reporting.

Key Highlights

• Plaspy compatible GPS tracker designed for real‑time tracking and fast recovery of mobile assets.
• Dual GNSS (GLONASS/GPS) with AGPS support for faster satellite acquisition and accurate positioning.
• Compact, rugged form factor (59×38×20 mm) with IP64 dust and splash resistance for vehicle and asset installations.
• 900 mAh Li‑Polymer backup battery plus wide 10.5–58 V external power range for broad vehicle compatibility and long standby autonomy.
• Adaptive operating modes — active monitoring when powered and moving, and low‑power beacon mode after power loss for up to ~90 days standby.
• Short‑range 868 MHz radio direction finding (~500 m) to aid recovery in indoor/jammed environments where satellite signals fail.
• Built‑in 3D accelerometer and temperature sensor for motion detection, anti‑evacuation and basic telemetry inputs.
• Reliable data buffering (“black box” memory) that stores up to 30,000 GPRS packets to prevent data loss during network outages.

How It Works with Plaspy

When integrated with Plaspy, the Micro‑Beacon Plus provides continuous position and telemetry feeds to support fleet management, anti‑theft workflows and asset monitoring dashboards. The device transmits acquired coordinates and status over GSM/GPRS to monitoring servers or directly to an owner’s phone; Plaspy receives these reports to enable live maps, alerts, and historical playback.

• Real‑time location and telemetry updates transmitted via GPRS for live tracking on Plaspy dashboards.
• Motion and tamper alerts from the 3D accelerometer to trigger instant notifications and automated responses.
• Battery and temperature telemetry for condition monitoring and remote diagnostics in Plaspy reports.
• Remote control via the device’s controllable output — usable in Plaspy workflows for actions such as immobilizer or alarm activation when paired with vehicle interfaces.
• GPRS black‑box storage ensures Plaspy receives queued data after temporary network loss, keeping history complete.

Technical Overview

Use Cases

• Fleet management and rental/lease operations — real‑time tracking and historical routes for small vehicles, scooters and motorcycles.
• Vehicle anti‑theft and recovery — rapid alerts, 868 MHz direction finding, and remote output for immobilization workflows when integrated via Plaspy.
• Monitoring of remote IT/network equipment, leased machinery or valuable cargo where long standby and compact size are essential.
• Asset protection for bicycles, ATVs and scooters — small footprint and long standby battery for covert tracking and recovery.
• Assistance and search for people in need or larger pets — satellite positioning with GSM fallback to maintain visibility in varied environments.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy

The AutoFon Micro‑Beacon Plus delivers a rare combination of compact design, long autonomy and multiple positioning fallback methods that make it especially suitable for Plaspy deployments focused on small assets and covert installations. By bringing GLONASS/GPS positioning together with GSM reporting, 868 MHz direction finding, and robust data buffering, it ensures continuous telemetry, reliable alerts and higher recovery rates in real‑world fleet management and anti‑theft scenarios.

For organizations using Plaspy, the Micro‑Beacon Plus offers practical integration points: GPRS and SMS reporting for immediate location updates, a controllable output and alarm input for basic remote actions, and sensor telemetry (accelerometer, temperature, battery) to enrich Plaspy dashboards and reports. Where additional workflows such as fuel monitoring, advanced ignition control or immobilizer implementations are required, the device can be incorporated into broader vehicle interfaces and integrations managed through Plaspy to extend functionality without sacrificing its compact, autonomous benefits.
