| Duro uses the Piski Multi multi-band, multi-constellation GNSS receiver in a ruggedized enclosure. This page will contain information about both the Duro and Piksi Multi - as far as I can tell, there is little inherently unique about the Duro compared to the Piksi Multi mounted on the evaluation board that Swift Navigation also sold it on. | Duro uses the Piski Multi multi-band, multi-constellation GNSS receiver in a ruggedized enclosure.
