Duos Signs Agreement for an Additional 2 MW Deployment

About this update from Duos Technologies Group, Inc.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., July 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Duos Edge AI, Inc. , a subsidiary of Duos Technologies Group, Inc. ("Duos" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: DUOT), today announced it has executed a Master Services Agreement with Nistar (" Nistar "), a Chicago-based development platform built to power the next generation of hyperscale and AI-driven data center infrastructure, to deploy up to two (2) megawatts (MW) of critical IT-load capacity, together with the utility infrastructure. Nistar is a leading provider in energy infrastructure and data center development bridging energy, digital infrastructure, and real-asset finance by structuring and advancing large, power-anchored campuses. Nistar uses both grid-connected and behind-the-meter strategies for AI and hyperscale compute and also operates GPU infrastructure at an enterprise level for institutional tenants. Under the terms of the agreement, Duos will provide a fully "Ready for Service" deployment designed to support high-density AI and high-performance compute ("HPC") workloads, enabling seamless server installation and operation for Nistar. The dedicated 2 MW AI and HPC deployment will be supported by Tier III-equivalent infrastructure with N+1 redundant power and cooling systems, ensuring high availability and reliability. The exact leased footprint, deployment areas, and technical specifications will be identified in each Service Order and related exhibits. The Nistar deployment will be located at Duos' Columbus, Georgia campus, which has expansion capacity of up to 20 MW. The agreement adds to the current contract for a total of 10 MW at the site, which is expected to be billing by the end of August 2026. An additional 10 MW is planned to be installed between October and November 2026, reflecting the continued scale-up of Duos' AI infrastructure platform. "This important step with Nistar establishes a framework for material expansion of our existing compute footprint, and we look forward to advancing toward full deployment in the coming months," said Duos CEO Doug Recker. "The growing demand for AI infrastructure continues to create significant opportunities for scalable, edge-focused data center deployments, and we believe our platform is well positioned to support these emerging requirements." "Duos' high-density data center infrastructure gives Nistar a practical path to serve an institutionally backed AI-compute client requiring approximately 2 MW of critical IT-load capacity to support a planned deployment of 1,024 NVIDIA B200 GPUs," said Jay Sivam, Chief Executive Officer of Nistar. "This agreement establishes a Ready-for-Service framework designed to support efficient server installation, commissioning, and operations, while allowing the final footprint and technical requirements to align with the client's deployment schedule. It represents an important step in Nistar's broader strategy of delivering scalable, financeable AI and high-performance-computing infrastructure where speed to deployment, power availability, and high-density design are critical. We view this as the first of what we expect will be multiple deployments with Duos and plan to replicate this model at additional locations."
