The АвтоФон Альфа-Маяк XL is a compact, Plaspy compatible GPS tracker built for long-term, low-maintenance deployments. Designed for covert vehicle and asset protection, this autonomous GSM/GLONASS+GPS beacon delivers precise locations over SMS or GPRS to monitoring platforms. Its factory-configured operation, embedded prepaid SIM and ultra-long battery life make it an ideal Plaspy-compatible device for discreet real-time tracking and anti-theft monitoring.
Small enough to hide and rugged enough for outdoor use (IP67), the Альфа-Маяк XL pairs naturally with Plaspy's fleet management and telemetry tools. Use it where maintenance is difficult—rental equipment, trailers, motorcycles, remote structures or long-term asset tracking—while relying on Plaspy to aggregate location updates, alerts and historical routes for operational visibility.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible: sends location and telemetry via SMS/GPRS for integration into Plaspy dashboards and alerts.
- Ultra-long autonomous runtime: up to 5 years on a sealed battery set with typical once‑per‑day reporting.
- Covert, rugged design: hermetic plastic housing ~77×52×24 mm with IP67 rating for discreet, weatherproof installation.
- Combined GLONASS+GPS navigation for reliable positioning in varied environments.
- Factory-configured with embedded prepaid SIM (lifetime device balance) for immediate deployment.
- Built-in SOS/micro-button and optional full-access mode with direct SMS control and audio monitoring (microphone).
- Automatic delivery via SMS and/or GPRS, with a local black-box buffer to ensure data persistence when connectivity is intermittent.
How It Works with Plaspy
The Альфа-Маяк XL transmits periodic position and status updates over GSM using SMS and GPRS. When configured for Plaspy, those transmissions are received and parsed by the platform to provide real-time tracking, history and alerts. Plaspy consolidates incoming coordinates and telemetry into fleet management views, maps and reports so you can act faster on theft events or operational exceptions.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates delivered via GPRS and SMS to Plaspy-compatible endpoints.
- SOS button triggers and life-signal messages are forwarded to Plaspy for immediate notifications.
- Local black-box (6-packet buffer) preserves unsent GPRS data and retries transmission — Plaspy receives complete updates when connectivity returns.
- Remote management signals (reporting frequency, schedules) can be adjusted through the device’s management interfaces and reflected in Plaspy reporting.
- Audio monitoring and full-access SMS commands (when enabled) can be used as additional investigative tools alongside Plaspy’s location feeds.

Use Cases
- Vehicle anti-theft and recovery: covertly installed on cars, motorcycles or scooters to provide location updates and SOS alerts to Plaspy and response teams.
- Long-term asset tracking: monitor trailers, leased machinery or containers where long battery life and minimal maintenance are critical.
- Remote property and structure security: discreet protection for garages, cottages or equipment stored off-site.
- Valuable cargo and logistics: periodic position reporting for cargo that benefits from long autonomous runtime and secure, weatherproof housing.
- Pet and livestock monitoring for extended deployments where small size and waterproofing help in rugged environments.
Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy
Pairing the АвтоФон Альфа-Маяк XL with Plaspy delivers a low-maintenance, high-visibility solution for fleets and assets that demand discreet, long-duration monitoring. The device’s ultra-long battery life and compact IP67 enclosure reduce installation and service costs, while GPRS/SMS connectivity ensures Plaspy receives timely position and status updates even in mixed-coverage areas. For organizations that need anti-theft capabilities, telemetry aggregation and reliable historical tracks, this Plaspy compatible GPS tracker provides a practical balance of autonomy and integration.
Plaspy consolidates the Альфа-Маяк XL’s reports into real-time tracking maps, alerts and fleet management reports. While this model focuses on autonomous location reporting and event alerts, Plaspy also supports wider telemetry features across compatible devices (such as fuel monitoring, ignition and immobilizer control or Bluetooth sensors) so you can scale visibility as required across a mixed device fleet.
