A beacon for use at transportation hubs, such as airports, heliports, and marine vessels and for marking aviation obstructions. The beacon is modular in design and has a substantially cylindrical housing that includes a bottom portion, a window and a top portion, sealed by gaskets. The beacon is configured for outdoor use and is explosion-proof or, at least, explosion-resistant. The housing defines a cavity that abuts the window. A reflector and a light source, such as a light emitting diode (LED) or an array of LEDs, are mounted in the cavity of the housing. The beacon includes a control unit with a GPS transceiver unit and another control inlet/outlet. Using the control unit, the beacon can operate individually or in a coordinated manner with other beacons.
