The AvtoFon Alpha-Beacon 2XL is a compact, waterproof GPS tracker and asset beacon designed for discreet, long-term protection of vehicles and valuables. Built on the v.7 hardware platform and featuring an integrated eSIM with factory-provisioned prepaid balance, the Alpha-Beacon 2XL is Plaspy compatible for easy integration into monitoring workflows. Its sealed IP67 housing, high-sensitivity GPS/GLONASS navigation and multi-year battery life make it ideal for anti-theft and long-duration deployments where concealment and reliability matter.
Designed to report precise coordinates by SMS and GPRS to monitoring servers, the Alpha-Beacon 2XL supports real-time tracking and extended telemetry via the AvtoFon KSA platform (web and mobile apps). With remote firmware updates, onboard retry logic and a small black box for unsent packets, this GPS tracker delivers resilient position reporting for fleet management, stolen vehicle recovery and remote asset supervision while remaining easy to configure and maintain through Plaspy-compatible integration.
Key Highlights
- Long autonomous operation: 3500 mAh specialised battery block (4.5 V) with up to 6 years runtime using daily LBS reports and up to 3 years with daily GPS reports.
- Plaspy compatible: native support for reporting over GPRS/SMS to telematics servers, enabling real-time tracking, alerts and historical telemetry in Plaspy-based systems.
- Rugged, covert design: IP67 sealed plastic housing suited for discreet placement in cars, motorcycles, boats and fixed assets.
- High-sensitivity GNSS: combined GPS + GLONASS module (SIM68M MTK3333) with an 18×18 mm antenna for reliable position fixes.
- Integrated eSIM and GPRS connectivity (SIM800H): factory provisioned for long-term connectivity without user SIM handling.
- Robust reporting: SMS link-to-map, extended telemetry via SMS/GPRS, real-time clock, onboard storage and retry logic (black box retains up to 6 packets).
- Safety & monitoring features: SOS panic button and optional audio monitoring (microphone) in full-access mode.
How It Works with Plaspy
The Alpha-Beacon 2XL sends location and telemetry to your Plaspy-compatible monitoring environment via SMS or GPRS. When integrated with Plaspy, the device can feed real-time tracking maps, generate alerts for SOS messages, and supply extended telemetry records for incident analysis and reporting. Because the device uses an integrated eSIM and supports AvtoFon KSA server protocols, setup for central monitoring is straightforward and minimizes on-site configuration.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates sent over GPRS (primary) and SMS (fallback).
- Automatic LBS (cell-tower) fallback for position reporting when GNSS signal is unavailable.
- SOS panic alerts delivered immediately to monitoring services; audio monitoring available in full-access mode.
- Onboard black box stores up to 6 unsent packets and retries transmission to ensure important events reach Plaspy servers.
- Configurable reporting intervals and modes via the AvtoFon KSA web or mobile apps for Android and iOS, simplifying Plaspy-side configuration.

Use Cases
- Anti-theft protection and rapid recovery of stolen cars, motorcycles, scooters and ATVs through discreet, long-life tracking.
- Fleet management for low-maintenance assets where long battery life, periodic telemetry and Plaspy-compatible reporting are priorities.
- Monitoring of trailers, containers, leased equipment, and remote stationary objects like garages or holiday homes.
- Tracking of valuable cargo and supervision of large animals or remote assets where covert placement and extended autonomy are required.
Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy
When you need a reliable, low-maintenance GPS tracker that integrates with Plaspy for real-time tracking and telemetry, the AvtoFon Alpha-Beacon 2XL stands out for its exceptional battery life, rugged waterproof enclosure and factory-provisioned eSIM. It reduces the operational burden of frequent maintenance or SIM management while delivering consistent position reports and event alerts to Plaspy-compatible servers. The device's onboard storage and retry logic increase resilience in intermittent coverage areas, and remote firmware updates keep devices current without physical access.
Note on ancillary features: this GPS tracker excels at location, SMS/GPRS telemetry and anti-theft monitoring, but it does not provide accelerometer-based tilt detection, external alarm inputs, fuel monitoring, ignition or immobilizer outputs, nor Bluetooth sensors in its standard sealed configuration. For deployments requiring those specific interfaces, consider platform-level integration or alternative hardware. For typical Plaspy-enabled applications—anti-theft, fleet management, telemetry and long-term covert tracking—the Alpha-Beacon 2XL provides a dependable, low-maintenance solution backed by AvtoFon KSA monitoring and optional 24/7 AvtoFon Response service when configured with factory settings.
