Duos Edge AI, Inc., a subsidiary of Duos Technologies Group, Inc., has executed a Master Services Agreement with Chicago-based infrastructure platform Nistar to deploy up to two megawatts of critical IT-load capacity at its Columbus, Georgia, campus, the companies announced on July 7, 2026.

Agreement Details and Infrastructure Specifications

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 workloads, enabling seamless server installation and operation for Nistar.

The dedicated 2 MW deployment will be supported by Tier III-equivalent infrastructure with N+1 redundant power and cooling systems, designed to ensure high availability and reliability.

The exact leased footprint, deployment areas, and technical specifications will be identified in each Service Order and related exhibits, according to the announcement.

The Nistar deployment will be housed at Duos' Columbus, Georgia campus, which carries expansion capacity of up to 20 megawatts.

Columbus Campus Expansion Trajectory

The new agreement adds to an existing contract, bringing the total contracted capacity at the Columbus site to 10 MW. That 10 MW deployment is expected to be billing by the end of August 2026.

An additional 10 MW is planned for installation between October and November 2026, according to the company's announcement, reflecting what Duos described as the continued scale-up of its AI infrastructure platform.

NVIDIA B200 GPU Deployment Planned

Nistar's chief executive officer, Jay Sivam, said the agreement provides a practical path for the company 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.

Sivam described the Ready-for-Service framework as 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.

He characterized the agreement as 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 factors.

"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," Sivam said in the announcement.

Executive Commentary on AI Infrastructure Demand

Duos CEO Doug Recker said the agreement with Nistar establishes a framework for material expansion of the company's existing compute footprint.

"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," Recker said.
