AutoFon - GL-Маяк

The AutoFon GL-Beacon (АвтоФон GL-Маяк) is a compact, Plaspy 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 Plaspy’s monitoring and fleet management features are required.

Designed to work with Plaspy 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. Plaspy 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 Plaspy

When integrated with Plaspy, the GL-Beacon transmits positional and event data to your Plaspy monitoring server over GPRS and can also deliver alerts via SMS. Plaspy 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 Plaspy receives a continuous record of location and events even through temporary connectivity gaps.

• Real-time location and telemetry updates over GPRS to Plaspy 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 Plaspy for instant notification.
• Audio monitoring: remote microphone access can be used within Plaspy workflows where audio checks are supported.
• Remote control: the auxiliary channel allows Plaspy-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 Plaspy when network coverage returns; LBS fallback provides coarse positioning when GNSS is unavailable.

Technical Overview

Use Cases

• Covert vehicle tracking for cars, motorcycles and boats — discreet installation with long battery life for undercover monitoring.
• Protection of valuable cargo and containers — real-time alarm reporting and robust packet buffering preserve shipment telemetry for Plaspy review.
• Monitoring people and animals — compact, autonomous tracking with SOS button and audio monitoring for child, elder or pet safety.
• Guarding remote stationary facilities — continuous active or beacon modes plus external power support for garages, summer houses and kiosks.
• Small-fleet and asset telemetry — integrate with Plaspy for centralized fleet management and incident-driven workflows using the GL-Beacon’s alarms and auxiliary controls.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy

Pairing the AutoFon GL-Beacon with Plaspy 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 Plaspy 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.
