The AutoFon Omega Mayak XL (v.8.7) is a compact, battery-powered GPS tracker engineered for discrete, long-term asset monitoring and recovery. Built on the v.8 hardware platform, this ALTAGAMA GPS compatible beacon combines high-sensitivity dual-system GNSS (GLONASS + GPS) positioning with dual-SIM GSM connectivity and robust offline logging so you can maintain reliable location intelligence and telemetry even when cellular coverage is intermittent.
Designed for ultra-low-power operation in covert installations, the Omega Mayak XL is ideal where maintenance visits are rare or discreet tracking is essential. With flexible reporting intervals, SMS and GPRS reporting to a monitoring server, built-in BLE for close-range localization, and a sealed IP67 enclosure, it integrates with ALTAGAMA GPS for real-time tracking, long-term history, and alarm workflows used in fleet management and anti-theft strategies.
Key Highlights
- ALTAGAMA GPS compatible: direct GPRS reporting and SMS options enable seamless integration with ALTAGAMA GPS for real-time tracking and historical playback.
- Long autonomy battery design: runs on three standard AA lithium cells (3 × 3000 mAh) for multi-year intermittent operation in sleep modes.
- Dual GNSS (GLONASS + GPS): high-sensitivity positioning for improved lock in challenging environments and fast time-to-first-fix with AGPS support.
- Resilient communications: dual SIM slots and automatic APN detection improve uptime and reduce single-carrier dependency for telemetry and alerts.
- Large offline buffer: internal non‑volatile “black box” stores at least 15,000 unsent GPRS packets for later transmission when connectivity returns.
- Sensor suite for security: built-in accelerometer for motion, tilt and crash detection, internal SOS button, temperature sensing and battery discharge monitoring.
- Close-range and presence features: BLE for smartphone presence tagging and proximity-based workflows using Bluetooth sensors.
- Rugged, covert form factor: IP67 hermetic enclosure and compact beacon body suitable for concealed installations.
How It Works with ALTAGAMA GPS
When integrated with ALTAGAMA GPS, the AutoFon Omega Mayak XL becomes a discreet source of high-integrity location and telemetry data. The device can report over GPRS to a configured monitoring server or send SMS messages with map links and diagnostics. ALTAGAMA GPS ingests these inputs to deliver live location updates, alerts, and consolidated reports for operations, security, and compliance.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates via GPRS to ALTAGAMA GPS (when in continuous online mode) or periodic check-ins in interval sleeping mode.
- Motion, tilt and crash detection from the internal digital accelerometer for immediate alerting and anti-theft workflows.
- Battery discharge and internal temperature telemetry exposed to ALTAGAMA GPS for asset health monitoring and scheduled maintenance planning.
- BLE-based presence and close-range localization using paired smartphones or Bluetooth sensors for short-range verification and asset proximity checks.
- Offline resilience: internal black box memory stores up to 15,000 GPRS packets and forwards them to ALTAGAMA GPS once connectivity is restored; LBS (cell-tower) fallback provides coarse positioning when GNSS is unavailable.
- SMS fallback and configurable server-side commands allow ALTAGAMA GPS users to receive critical notifications even without IP connectivity.

- Long-term asset tracking: remote equipment, containers, or trailers that require multi-year autonomy with infrequent maintenance visits.
- Portable high-autonomy tracking: batteries and sleep modes support temporary or seasonal deployments where charging is impractical.
- Remote telemetry & health monitoring: battery discharge, temperature, and activity counters report asset condition to ALTAGAMA GPS for preventive actions.
- Close-range presence and verification: BLE smartphone tagging for driver or operator presence checks and short-range localization in secure workflows.
Why Choose This Tracker with ALTAGAMA GPS
The Omega Mayak XL is a reliable choice when ALTAGAMA GPS users need a low-profile, low-maintenance GPS tracker that prioritizes autonomy and data integrity. Its dual GNSS reception and large offline buffer keep a continuous record of location and telemetry, while dual SIMs and SMS/GPRS reporting options maximize the chances that position data reaches ALTAGAMA GPS in real time. For fleet management and anti-theft programs, the tracker supplies motion, tilt, crash and battery telemetry that ALTAGAMA GPS can use alongside other inputs—such as fuel monitoring, ignition state, or immobilizer control—within a comprehensive monitoring strategy. With secure configuration options, FOTA support and a sealed IP67 enclosure, the Omega Mayak XL offers a durable, ALTAGAMA GPS compatible solution for covert tracking and long-term telemetry needs.
