DUOS SIGNS AGREEMENT FOR ADDITIONAL 2 MW DEPLOYMENT IN GEORGIA

Duos Edge AI, a subsidiary of Duos Technologies Group,(‘ Duos’ or‘ the company’) has announced it has executed a Master Services Agreement with Nistar, a Chicago-based development platform built to power the next generation of hyperscale and AI-driven data centre infrastructure, to deploy up to 2 MW of critical IT-load capacity, together with the utility infrastructure.

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.
Nistar is a leading provider in energy infrastructure and data centre development bridging energy, digital infrastructure and real-asset finance by structuring and advancing large, poweranchored 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 highdensity 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.
