Duos Technologies (Nasdaq: DUOT) announced an expanded strategic partnership between its subsidiary Duos Edge AI and FiberLight to accelerate the deployment of Edge Data Centers (EDCs) across underserved U.S. markets.

The partnership leverages FiberLight's extensive fiber network, spanning 13,000+ route miles across Texas, and Duos Edge AI's modular, SOC 2 Type II compliant EDCs. A successful collaboration in Corpus Christi demonstrated the partnership's efficiency, where they rapidly deployed a new EDC near existing infrastructure, avoiding 2,000 feet of new construction.

Duos Edge AI is targeting to contract 15 EDCs by end-2025, with active deployments in Texas and planned expansion in the Midwest and Southeastern U.S.

Duos Technologies (Nasdaq: DUOT) ha annunciato l'espansione della partnership strategica tra la sua controllata Duos Edge AI e FiberLight per accelerare il dispiegamento di Edge Data Center (EDC) in mercati statunitensi meno serviti.

La collaborazione sfrutta l'ampia rete in fibra di FiberLight, con oltre 13.000+ miglia di percorso in Texas, e gli EDC modulari di Duos Edge AI, conformi a SOC 2 Type II. Una collaborazione riuscita a Corpus Christi ha dimostrato l'efficacia del modello, permettendo di installare rapidamente un nuovo EDC vicino a infrastrutture esistenti ed evitando 2.000 piedi di nuova costruzione.

Duos Edge AI punta a stipulare contratti per 15 EDC entro la fine del 2025, con implementazioni in corso in Texas e piani di espansione nel Midwest e nel Sudest degli Stati Uniti.

Duos Edge AI vise à contractualiser 15 EDC d'ici fin 2025, avec des déploiements en cours au Texas et une expansion prévue dans le Midwest et le Sud-Est des États-Unis.

Duos Technologies (Nasdaq: DUOT) hat eine erweiterte strategische Partnerschaft zwischen seiner Tochtergesellschaft Duos Edge AI und FiberLight angekündigt, um den Ausbau von Edge Data Centers (EDC) in unterversorgten US-Märkten zu beschleunigen.

Die Partnerschaft nutzt FiberLights umfangreiches Glasfasernetz, das über 13.000+ Meilen Trassen in Texas umfasst, sowie die modularen, SOC 2 Type II-konformen EDCs von Duos Edge AI. Eine erfolgreiche Zusammenarbeit in Corpus Christi zeigte die Effizienz des Ansatzes: Dort wurde ein neues EDC schnell in der Nähe bestehender Infrastruktur installiert, wodurch 2.000 Fuß neuer Bauarbeiten vermieden wurden.

Duos Edge AI strebt an, bis Ende 2025 Verträge für 15 EDC abzuschließen, mit aktiven Deployments in Texas und geplanter Expansion in den Mittleren Westen und den Südosten der USA.

Insights

Duos-FiberLight partnership expansion accelerates edge data center deployment in underserved markets, boosting Duos' growth prospects in the critical edge computing sector.

Duos Technologies' subsidiary Duos Edge AI is significantly expanding its strategic partnership with FiberLight to deploy edge data centers (EDCs) across underserved U.S. markets. This partnership leverages FiberLight's extensive fiber network—approximately 13,000 route miles across Texas alone—to support Duos' modular, SOC 2 Type II compliant edge computing infrastructure.

The collaboration has already demonstrated success in Corpus Christi, where the companies deployed an EDC adjacent to FiberLight's existing infrastructure, saving substantial costs by eliminating over 2,000 feet of new construction. This practical implementation showcases the partnership's ability to quickly deliver solutions while navigating regulatory requirements and technical constraints.

From a technical infrastructure perspective, this alliance addresses a critical market gap. As computing demands increasingly shift toward distributed models requiring low-latency processing for AI applications, healthcare, and education, traditional centralized data centers often can't efficiently serve remote or underserved regions. Duos' EDCs provide the localized compute resources these applications demand, while FiberLight's high-capacity fiber optic networks ensure these edge facilities remain seamlessly connected to broader cloud infrastructure.

Most importantly, this partnership positions Duos to accelerate its stated goal of contracting 15 EDCs by the end of 2025, with deployments already underway in Texas and planned expansions into the Midwest and Southeast. This geographic diversification will likely strengthen Duos' market position in the rapidly growing edge computing sector, where first-mover advantages in establishing physical infrastructure can create lasting competitive advantages through economies of scale and customer lock-in.

Joint initiative accelerates deployment of Edge Data Centers and expands high-speed connectivity across underserved U.S. markets

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Aug. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Duos Technologies Group, Inc. (“Duos” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: DUOT), through its operating subsidiary Duos Edge AI, Inc. (“Duos Edge AI”), a provider of adaptive, versatile and streamlined Edge Data Center (“EDC”) solutions tailored to meet evolving needs in any environment, today announced the expansion of its strategic partnership with FiberLight, LLC, a leading provider of high-capacity fiber optic networks and connectivity services. This alliance builds on the companies’ collaboration in Texas. It marks a major milestone in delivering low-latency, localized compute infrastructure to underserved and high-growth markets across the United States.

The partnership will accelerate the deployment of Duos Edge AI’s modular, SOC 2 Type II compliant EDCs, purpose-built for rapid delivery, energy efficiency, and high availability. These deployments are strengthened by FiberLight’s expansive fiber network, which includes approximately 75 route miles of regional infrastructure in Corpus Christi and connects to more than 13,000 route miles across Texas. With direct links to major markets, including San Antonio, Austin, Dallas, Houston, McAllen, Laredo, and El Paso, this collaboration ensures fast and reliable access to next-generation infrastructure supporting education, healthcare, enterprise, and AI-driven applications in both urban and rural communities.

“Expanding our partnership with FiberLight is a significant step forward in our mission,” said Doug Recker, President and Founder of Duos Edge AI. “Their extensive fiber network, combined with our rapidly deployable edge data centers, allows us to deliver scalable, high-performance solutions where they’re needed most—faster than ever before.”

The strength of the partnership was recently demonstrated in Corpus Christi, where FiberLight needed to quickly reestablish its primary point-of-presence (POP) to maintain connectivity in the region, and Duos Edge AI presented the most efficient and cost-effective path forward. Working closely with city officials, the property owner, and AEP, FiberLight and Duos Edge AI collaborated to deploy a new EDC just 30 feet from FiberLight’s existing infrastructure. The expedited permitting and installation process eliminated the need for more than 2,000 feet of new construction, resulting in significant cost savings and minimizing downtime for local customers.

“This expanded partnership builds on the proven success we’ve had together in Texas,” said Tyler Coates, Chief Revenue Officer at FiberLight. “The Corpus Christi project shows how Duos Edge AI brings more than just edge data center capabilities; they add real value for our customers by helping us deliver innovative infrastructure solutions quickly and efficiently. Together, we’re expanding our reach, enhancing service delivery, and driving the next wave of innovation and economic development.”

Duos Edge AI is currently on track to contract 15 EDCs by the end of 2025, with active deployments underway in Texas and more planned for the Midwest and Southeastern U.S. This expanded partnership with FiberLight enables joint planning around site selection, connectivity, and turnkey deployment in markets where infrastructure is most needed.
