Antenna Placement Guidelines

Position the antenna as indicated by the blue marker, at a spot with a sky view that is unobstructed above 30

degrees up from the horizon in every direction. For the best results, install the antenna on the top of a tripod

(using the included threading adapter) or other stable structure.

Duro’s high-precision, multi-band GNSS antenna is sensitive to its environment. Since Duro needs to track

carrier phase information from GNSS satellites, it is much more sensitive to obstructions than standard

consumer GNSS receivers found in, for example, smartphones. Thus, the Duro antenna must be kept away

from any obstructions to its sky view.

●Do place the antenna on a tripod.

●Do not test inside a building.

●Do not place the antenna near buildings.

●Do not place the antenna near trees and other cover.

●Do not stand near the antenna or put your hand over the antenna during testing.

●Do not place an open laptop near the antenna so that the laptop itself is blocking the sky view.

Product Introduction

Overview

Duro® is a ruggedized version of the Piksi® Multi RTK GNSS receiver. Built to be tough, Duro is ideal for mining,

agricultural, robotics, maritime and outdoor industrial applications. Duro is designed for integration into or

mounting on top of existing equipment. With its cast aluminum housing, this easy-to-deploy GNSS sensor is

protected against weather, moisture, vibration, dust, water immersion and the unexpected that can occur in

outdoor long-term deployments.

Why Duro?

Centimeter-Level Accuracy

Autonomous devices require precise navigation—especially those that perform critical functions. Swift

Navigation’s Piksi Multi module within Duro utilizes real-time kinematics (RTK) technology, providing location

solutions that are 100 times more accurate than traditional GPS.

Easy Integration

Duro is easily integrated into your application as its sealed, and industry standard, connectors enable easy

deployment in all conditions. The exposed interfaces support varied use cases without integration challenges.

Leverages Piksi Multi

Multiple signal bands enable fast convergence times and multiple satellite constellations enhance availability.

Piksi Multi currently supports GPS L1/L2, GLONASS G1/G2, Beidou B1/B2 and GALILEO E1/E2. SBAS is also

supported.

Features and Benefits

●Dual-frequency RTK GNSS, providing accurate position and solution fast recovery

●Tough, military-grade hardware

●IP67-rated enclosure with M12 standard-sealed connectors

●Raw IMU data stream output

●Future-proof hardware with in-field software upgrades

Connectors

Duro’s M12 connectors are sealed and industry standard, which balances ruggedization perfectly with

user-friendliness. No external sealing is required to deploy Duro, in even the harshest conditions. Duro has

the following connectors:

●Power

●Ethernet

●Serial

●AUX

●GNSS Antenna

The sections that follow explain the signal description for each connector and the cables provided with the

Duro Evaluation Kit. Importantly, the connectors or their respective caps need to be mated to provide sealing

functionality to meet IP67 standards.
