The AvtoFon Mega-Beacon+ (АвтоФон Мега-Маяк+) is a compact autonomous GPS/GLONASS GPS tracker built for long-term covert and exposed installations. Plaspy compatible out of the box, the Mega-Beacon+ combines high-sensitivity satellite positioning (GLONASS + GPS with A‑GPS), Wi‑Fi and LBS fallback, BLE presence tagging, and robust motion/tamper sensing to deliver reliable location, telemetry, and alerting for vehicles, assets, and remote objects.
Designed for discreet anti-theft and fleet management workflows, the Mega-Beacon+ supports dual SIM for redundant GSM links, GPRS reporting to monitoring servers, SMS alerts to owners, and over-the-air firmware updates. Its IP67 hermetic enclosure, integrated microphone, SOS button, and an internal black box buffer make it an ideal GPS tracker where long autonomous operation, tamper resistance, and secure Plaspy integration are priorities.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible GPS tracker: sends real-time tracking data and events over GPRS or SMS to Plaspy-supported monitoring servers.
- High-sensitivity GNSS: GPS + GLONASS with A‑GPS for faster fixes and improved accuracy in challenging environments.
- Long autonomous operation: 3.7 V rechargeable Li‑Po 4000 mAh battery with heater for cold charging and up to years-long standby in low-duty modes.
- Robust anti-tamper and concealment features: IP67 hermetic housing, photodetector for case-opening detection, and SuperStealth anti-scan behavior.
- Dual-SIM redundancy and GPRS black box: stores up to 15,000 GPRS packets to guarantee data retention through outages or jamming.
- Advanced motion and accident detection: digital accelerometer detects movement start, impacts, rollover >90°, and high‑g events (above 8G).
- BLE, Wi‑Fi and LBS positioning: short-range Bluetooth sensors/presence tagging and Wi‑Fi/LBS augment satellite fixes in urban and indoor environments.
- Practical I/O and monitoring: SOS button, integrated microphone for remote audio monitoring, 1 alarm input and 1 auxiliary channel for digital event detection.
How It Works with Plaspy
The Mega-Beacon+ integrates with Plaspy by delivering continuous location and event telemetry from the device to Plaspy’s monitoring endpoints using GPRS (preferred) and SMS as a fallback. Once configured, Plaspy receives GNSS coordinates, BLE/Wi‑Fi-assisted location, motion and tamper events, and auxiliary input status to drive real-time tracking, alerts, and historical reporting.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates sent via GPRS to Plaspy servers (SMS delivery available for owner notifications).
- Movement, impact and rollover alerts from the accelerometer for immediate incident notification.
- Digital alarm input and auxiliary channel reporting for door, ignition, or other wired event monitoring when installed.
- Black box packet buffer (15,000 GPRS entries) ensures no data loss during temporary connectivity or signal jamming, then synchronizes with Plaspy.
- BLE-based short-range localization and presence tagging that Plaspy can display for proximity-based workflows and asset handovers.

Use Cases
- Covert vehicle tracking for cars, motorcycles and boats — long-life battery and stealth modes increase recovery chances after theft attempts.
- High-value cargo and container tracking — continuous telemetry and black box buffering ensure route history even through connectivity gaps.
- Protection of remote stationary objects — monitor garages, kiosks, summer houses or equipment with tamper detection and SOS alerts.
- Asset and personnel presence tagging — BLE presence and Wi‑Fi/LBS positioning help manage proximate assets or monitor personnel in mixed indoor/outdoor environments.
- Incident detection and response — accelerometer-based impact, rollover and high‑g alerts feed Plaspy’s incident workflows for fast action.
Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy
When you need a Plaspy compatible GPS tracker that balances long autonomy, discreet installation, and robust telemetry, the AvtoFon Mega-Beacon+ is designed to deliver. Its dual-SIM GPRS reporting and SMS fallback help maintain continuous connectivity to Plaspy for real-time tracking and fleet management dashboards. The device’s black box, tamper photodetector, IP67 housing, and low-emission standby modes minimize data loss and detection risk during theft or jamming attempts.
Beyond location, the Mega-Beacon+ supplies rich telemetry — motion events, accelerometer-based incident detection, BLE presence data, and auxiliary input reporting — enabling Plaspy to power anti-theft alerts, operational monitoring, and data-driven workflows. OTA firmware updates and proven hardware (Quectel MC60E module, RTC, and rechargeable battery with cold-charging support) reduce maintenance overhead and extend field lifetime. For fleet management, discreet anti-theft protection, or long-term asset surveillance, this Plaspy compatible tracker provides a reliable, scalable, and secure foundation for real-time tracking and telemetry-driven operations.
