JACKSONVILLE, Fla., July 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Duos Edge AI, Inc., a subsidiary of Duos Technologies Group, Inc. ("Duos" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:DUOT), today announced that it has entered into a five-year customer agreement to provide 10 MW of critical IT-load capacity at its Columbus, Georgia data center campus.

The agreement is valued in excess of $111 million over a five-year term and is expected to become available in the fourth quarter of 2026. In addition, the Company’s previously announced initial 10 MW deployment at the Columbus campus is expected to begin generating revenue in August 2026. The agreement is expected to expand critical IT-load capacity at the campus to 20 MW by the end of the fourth quarter of 2026. With these Columbus additions, Duos Edge AI has now confirmed 20MW in total contracted deployment in 2026.

In connection with the deployment, the Company’s recently completed a $55 million raise intended to support the acquisition of the Columbus facility and infrastructure to fulfill contracted customer deployments and expand the campus. By owning the underlying real estate and developing the supporting infrastructure, Duos is seeking to convert deployed capital into long-term contracted recurring revenue.

"This agreement shows how we are investing in infrastructure in key markets so we can quickly add capacity for our customers." said Duos CEO Doug Recker. "The Columbus campus gives us the ability to rapidly deploy high-density AI infrastructure while generating durable recurring revenue. We believe this model positions Duos to meet growing customer demand and create meaningful long-term value for our shareholders."

The Columbus campus now supports a growing portfolio of contracted customer deployments, including previously announced AI infrastructure agreements, reinforcing the Company’s strategy of developing owned, high-density infrastructure backed by long-term customer demand.
