AutoFon - SE+ Beacon

AutoFon SE+ Beacon

The AutoFon SE+ Beacon is a compact, Plaspy compatible GPS tracker engineered for long-term, covert tracking of vehicles and mobile or stationary assets. Combining GPS/GLONASS positioning with GSM SMS and GPRS reporting, the SE+ Beacon delivers reliable location telemetry and event alerts while preserving battery life — ideal when you need discreet, maintenance-light monitoring integrated into the Plaspy platform.

Designed on a v.6.x hardware platform with a SIM800H GSM module and a SIM68M GNSS module, the SE+ Beacon supports real-time tracking via GPRS, SMS fallback, motion and impact detection, and a configurable auxiliary channel for remote control tasks such as immobilizer activation. Its miniature 69×51×22 mm form factor and up to two years of battery life (depending on configuration) make it a practical choice for long deployments managed through Plaspy.

Key Highlights

• Plaspy compatible GPS tracker with GPS + GLONASS positioning for dependable location data.
• Long battery life: runs on two CR123A 3.0V (1500 mAh) cells with option for external power.
• Dual reporting: GPRS for real-time tracking and SMS for alerts or backup communications.
• Multi-sensor safety: digital accelerometer, tilt detection, impact/crash detection, and SOS micro-button for immediate alerts.
• Auxiliary channel and alarm input enable remote control of external devices (for example, engine immobilizer, relay or siren).
• Built-in microphone for remote audio monitoring and PIN/owner-number protection for secure operation.
• Large offline buffer (98,000 GPRS packets) and remote firmware updates over GPRS to keep devices synchronized and resilient to connectivity gaps.

How It Works with Plaspy

The SE+ Beacon integrates with Plaspy by delivering GNSS positions and event telemetry to Plaspy’s server over GPRS, with SMS used as a fallback notification method. Plaspy ingests those packets to provide live maps, geofencing alerts, and historical playback. Configurable life-signal (heartbeat) messages and the device’s large “black box” buffer ensure Plaspy receives consistent position and event data even through temporary network outages.

• Real-time location and telemetry updates via GPRS for continuous tracking on Plaspy dashboards.
• Event reporting: motion start/stop, tilt (>90°), high-impact events (acceleration >8G) and SOS button presses are forwarded as alerts.
• Alarm input reporting and auxiliary channel control available for remote actions (e.g., immobilizer or relay control) when authorized through Plaspy.
• SMS notifications and SMS-to-map link modes provide alternative alerting and quick link-based position sharing where needed.
• Robust offline strategy: a 98,000-packet buffer stores unsent data until Plaspy server connectivity is restored.

Technical Overview

Use Cases

• Covert long-term vehicle monitoring — cars, motorcycles and boats where low detectability and long battery life are essential.
• Asset tracking for containers, trailers and valuable cargo during transit or storage with impact and motion alerts.
• Remote stationary object monitoring — garages, cottages or utility boxes where infrequent check-ins preserve battery.
• Personal or pet tracking for discreet location monitoring combined with SOS alerting.
• Small equipment and trailer fleet oversight where discreet telemetry and event alerts are sufficient without full vehicle telematics hardware.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy

The AutoFon SE+ Beacon pairs well with Plaspy when you need a low-profile GPS tracker that prioritizes battery life, resilience and event-driven telemetry. Its GPRS + SMS dual-path reporting and large offline buffer reduce data loss, while accelerometer-based motion, tilt and crash detection provide actionable alerts for anti-theft and safety workflows. Plaspy customers can leverage these signals for real-time tracking, historical playback and automated alerting.

For operations that require additional telemetry such as fuel monitoring or ignition status, the SE+ Beacon can be part of a broader Plaspy solution where external sensors or integrations supply those specific signals. The auxiliary channel enables remote control actions (for example, immobilizer activation) under Plaspy-managed policies, making it practical for basic anti-theft response without complex wiring. Remote firmware updates over GPRS and multi-language configuration keep deployments current and easy to maintain at scale.
