Duos Technologies Group, Inc., through its subsidiary Duos Edge AI, Inc., has executed a definitive contract with Hydra Host to deploy a high-density NVIDIA GPU cluster for a leading global technology company. The project is expected to generate approximately $176 million in revenue over a 36-month term, with an initial $18 million customer pre-payment, projected gross margins exceeding 80%, and expected annual EBITDA of approximately $40 million.

Why it matters

This contract represents a significant commercial validation of Duos' High-Power Edge Data Center (EDC) business line, which is purpose-built to serve AI companies and high-performance compute tenants requiring premium rack space, dedicated high-density power, and rapid deployment. The model is already attracting significant interest from AI Hyperscalers, NeoCloud operators, and other potential AI Infrastructure customers, underscoring the scalability and market demand for Duos' distributed infrastructure platform.

The details

The initial deployment will be located at a strategic site and will consist of multiple high-density modular Edge Data Centers (EDCs) designed to support large-scale AI workloads. The first phase includes an initial 4.3+ MW colocation commitment from a leading global technology company, which will serve as the project's anchor tenant. This deployment represents the largest Edge Data Center project in Duos' history, with additional colocation revenue expected alongside the GPUaaS contract as the site scales toward its full power capacity.

  • The definitive contract was executed on March 13, 2026.
  • The initial deployment is expected to commence immediately, with critical power modules already ordered to support deployment timelines.
  • The GPUaaS contract is for a 36-month term.
