The DURO® is a high-performance GNSS receiver specifically designed for ruggedized applications, offering reliability in challenging environments. It features a dual-frequency RTK GNSS receiver, a high-performance pose filter, and a durable cast aluminum construction. This device is built to withstand harsh conditions with its chemical resistance, powder-coating, and passive thermal design. Additionally, the DURO® has an IP67 rating and electrical protection across all I/O, ensuring protection against dust and water ingress. The receiver also includes an onboard MEMS IMU, standard M12 connectors, a high-quality interface console, and colored status LEDs, making it a robust solution for demanding applications.

Benefits

The DURO® provides centimeter-level positioning accuracy, with a horizontal accuracy of 0.01m (0.4in) + 1ppm and vertical accuracy of 0.15m (5.9in) + 1ppm, ensuring precise location data for critical applications. It offers a smooth and stable pose solution, which is crucial for applications requiring both orientation and positioning, such as mapping and surveying. Designed for long-term deployment, the DURO® can operate in extreme temperatures ranging from -40° to 167°F (-40° to 75°C) and is protected by an IP67 rating, making it suitable for deployment in the harshest environments. Its flexible mounting interfaces simplify integration into various systems, and the use of standard M12 connectors reduces integration time and makes sourcing cables easier. The device also supports in-field software upgrades, allowing users to update its software without sending it back to the manufacturer. Intuitive diagnostics help troubleshoot and maintain the device, and its competitive pricing offers high performance at a reasonable cost.

Limitations

Despite its many advantages, the DURO® has several limitations. It supports only the NTRIP client protocol for communication, which may restrict its compatibility with certain systems that require other protocols. Furthermore, it does not support multiple GNSS constellations, limiting its performance in areas with poor satellite coverage as it only works with GPS, GLONASS, BEIDOU, GALILEO, and SBAS signals. The device lacks built-in Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, meaning that additional hardware may be needed for wireless communication. Its power supply options are also limited, requiring a 10-35 VDC power source, which could pose challenges in applications with limited power availability. Lastly, the DURO® does not support advanced navigation algorithms, which could affect its performance in complex navigation scenarios where more sophisticated algorithms are necessary.
