The AutoFon Omega-Beacon+ is a compact autonomous GPS/GLONASS GPS tracker designed for discreet, long-term monitoring and recovery of mobile assets. Built around a QUECTEL MC60E module, this Plaspy compatible beacon delivers reliable position fixes via GPS/GLONASS with GSM (2G GPRS) uplink for server-side monitoring and optional SMS notifications to owner numbers. Its small form factor, long standby battery life and BLE presence features make it a practical choice for anti-theft, asset protection and lightweight fleet management deployments.
The Omega-Beacon+ is optimized for hidden installation in cars, motorcycles, boats, bicycles and portable equipment where sustained autonomy and stealth are priorities. It combines a 1000 mAh rechargeable lithium‑polymer battery, movement and crash detection through a digital accelerometer, a BLE module for owner proximity checks, a built‑in microphone and an SOS button — all features that integrate into Plaspy to provide real-time tracking, telemetry and actionable alerts without relying on continuous external power.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible GPS tracker with GPS/GLONASS positioning and GPRS uplink for real-time tracking and server reporting.
- Ultra-long autonomous operation: 1000 mAh rechargeable 3.7V Li‑poly battery with up to two years standby in beacon modes for long-term asset monitoring.
- Discrete, compact IP54 enclosure (59×38×20 mm) suitable for hidden installations in vehicles, motorcycles, boats and portable assets.
- Integrated digital accelerometer for movement, rollover and shock detection — instant telemetry for anti-theft and crash alerts.
- BLE module for Bluetooth sensors and owner smartphone proximity checks plus BLE-based local ranging.
- Dual reporting options: GPRS to monitoring server and SMS to owner numbers; black‑box storage and retransmission of unsent packets ensure data reliability.
- Built-in microphone and SOS button for emergency alerts and remote listening capability when supported by the monitoring server.
How It Works with Plaspy
The Omega-Beacon+ transmits position, event and telemetry data over 2G GPRS to a designated monitoring server and can also send SMS notifications to configured owner numbers. As a Plaspy compatible GPS tracker, its standard reports and alarms can be parsed by Plaspy to provide live maps, alerts and historical reports. The device’s internal logic and server-side command features allow Plaspy to manage remote configuration, retrieve stored alarms and coordinate firmware updates over GPRS.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates (GPS/GLONASS coordinates with GSM LBS fallback for approximate positioning).
- Movement, rollover and crash alerts derived from the digital accelerometer for immediate anti-theft and safety notifications.
- SOS button events and owner-number SMS alerts for emergency response workflows in Plaspy.
- Battery status, temperature measurement and battery discharge monitoring shown as telemetry in Plaspy dashboards.
- BLE presence flags and local ranging data from Bluetooth sensors to indicate owner proximity or local context.

Use Cases
- Fleet management and real-time tracking of small service vehicles where discreet, long-term monitoring is required.
- Anti-theft monitoring and recovery of motorcycles, bicycles and boats — accelerometer-based movement and crash alerts aid recovery efforts.
- Cargo and portable asset protection when external wiring is impractical — compact, hidden installation with autonomous power.
- Personal safety and supervision: wearable panic button and SOS alerts for vulnerable people or lone workers, with remote alerting to Plaspy dashboards.
- Tracking of animals or temporary assets where BLE presence and long standby battery life are valuable for telemetry and proximity checks.
Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy
The AutoFon Omega-Beacon+ offers a balanced mix of autonomy, stealth and telemetry that makes it a strong choice for Plaspy compatible deployments focused on anti-theft, asset protection and light fleet management. Its long standby battery and compact IP54 housing reduce maintenance and ease hidden installations. Plaspy integration leverages the device’s GPRS and SMS reporting to provide real-time tracking, event-driven alerts and historical reports, while server-side management supports remote configuration and firmware updates. Note that the Omega-Beacon+ is optimized for standalone battery operation and does not include direct external power charging, fuel monitoring sensors or built-in ignition/immobilizer outputs — plan integrations accordingly if your solution requires those capabilities.
