AutoFon Alpha-Beacon 2XL (Альфа-Маяк 2XL) — Plaspy compatible GPS tracker

The AutoFon Alpha-Beacon 2XL is a compact, long-life GPS/GLONASS tracker designed for discreet, long-term asset monitoring. Optimized for autonomous operation and preconfigured for immediate deployment, the 2XL is Plaspy compatible and can forward location and telemetry to Plaspy-based fleet management and monitoring platforms via SMS or GPRS.

Housed in a waterproof IP67 plastic enclosure and powered by a high-capacity 3500 mAh battery block, this GPS tracker is ideal where size, battery autonomy and reliable reporting matter. It supports telemetric reports, SOS alerts and remote audio monitoring (in full-access mode), and its prepaid integrated SIM enables low-maintenance, uninterrupted service throughout the device lifetime.

Key Highlights

  • Plaspy compatible GPS tracker — integrates via SMS/GPRS reporting for real-time tracking and alerts.
  • Ultra-long autonomous operation — up to years of battery life depending on reporting frequency.
  • Compact, IP67-sealed enclosure (79 × 28 × 55 mm) for covert installations on vehicles, trailers, boats or assets.
  • Built-in SOS button and remote audio monitoring for safety and theft-response workflows.
  • Reliable telemetry delivery with black-box buffer (6 packets) and retry logic for intermittent GPRS coverage.
  • Preinstalled integrated SIM and preconfigured operation for plug-and-play deployment and low maintenance.
  • Remote firmware updates over GPRS and server monitoring via AutoFon KSA web and mobile apps.

How It Works with Plaspy

The Alpha-Beacon 2XL reports position and telemetry over SMS and GPRS. When configured to send GPRS packets or SMS messages to Plaspy endpoints, Plaspy ingests coordinate messages, status updates and alerts for real-time tracking, logging and automated notifications. The device’s fallback to GSM LBS ensures location continuity where GNSS signals are weak.

  • Real-time location and telemetry updates via GPRS (and SMS as a fallback) for Plaspy dashboards and alerts.
  • SOS alert and on-demand audio monitoring (available in full-access mode) routed to Plaspy incident workflows.
  • GSM LBS fallback positioning to maintain coarse tracking when GPS/GLONASS signals are unavailable.
  • Internal black-box buffer for unsent packets (6 packets) ensures retries and reduces data gaps in Plaspy logs.
  • Remote firmware update capability over GPRS for long-term compatibility and security with Plaspy integrations.

Use Cases

  • Anti-theft protection and stolen vehicle recovery: covert installation, SOS reporting and audio monitoring combined with Plaspy incident workflows.
  • Long-term fleet and rented-equipment monitoring where maintenance access is limited and extended battery life is critical.
  • Tracking motorcycles, ATVs, boats and bicycles—small size and IP67 enclosure enable discreet mounting and weather resistance.
  • Monitoring valuable shipments, leased machinery or remote stationary objects (garages, kiosks, cottages) with low-maintenance telemetry reporting.
  • Remote asset tracking for non-vehicle assets or large animals where compact size and battery autonomy are primary requirements.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy

The AutoFon Alpha-Beacon 2XL is built for long-term, low-maintenance deployments where reliable position reports, covert form factor and extended battery life are essential. As a Plaspy compatible GPS tracker, it brings actionable telemetry into Plaspy dashboards via GPRS and SMS, while built-in buffering and retry logic improve data continuity in intermittent networks. The integrated prepaid SIM and preconfigured default operation simplify roll-out for fleet management, anti-theft protection and asset monitoring.

Note on advanced interfaces: this tracker focuses on ultra-long battery life and small size; it does not provide fuel monitoring, ignition input, immobilizer control or Bluetooth sensors. If ignition or immobilizer interfaces or dedicated fuel telemetry are required, consider device variants designed with external inputs. For users prioritizing covert installation, long autonomy and dependable telemetry feeding Plaspy, the Alpha-Beacon 2XL is a practical, low-maintenance choice.
