Duos Technologies Group Inc. (Nasdaq: DUOT), through its operating subsidiary Duos Edge AI, Inc, has deployed a new Edge Data Center (EDC) in Abilene, Texas, in collaboration with Region 14 Education Service Center (ESC).​ This deployment expands Duos Edge AI’s presence in Texas while bringing advanced digital infrastructure to support K-12 education, healthcare, workforce development, and local businesses across West Texas.​

This installation builds on Duos Edge AI’s recent Texas deployments in Amarillo (Region 16), Waco (Region 12), and Victoria (Region 3), supporting a broader strategy to deploy edge computing solutions tailored to education, healthcare, and enterprise needs.​

“We are excited to partner with Region 14 ESC to bring cutting-edge technology to Abilene and West Texas, bringing a carrier neutral colocation facility to the market while empowering educators and communities with the tools they need to thrive in a digital world,” said Doug Recker, President of Duos and Founder of Duos Edge AI.​ “This EDC represents our commitment to fostering innovation and economic growth in regions that have historically faced connectivity challenges.”

The Abilene EDC will serve as a local carrier-neutral colocation facility and computing hub, delivering enhanced bandwidth, secure data processing, and low-latency AI capabilities to more than 40 school districts and charter schools across an 11-county region spanning over 13,000 square miles.​

Chris Wigington, Executive Director for Region 14 ESC, added, “Collaborating with Duos Edge AI allows us to elevate the technological capabilities of our schools and partners, ensuring equitable access to high-speed computing and AI resources. This data center will be a game-changer for student learning, teacher development, and regional collaboration.”

By locating the data center at Region 14 ESC, the partnership aims to help bridge digital divides in rural and underserved communities by enabling faster access to educational tools, cloud services, and AI-driven applications, while reducing reliance on distant centralized data centers.​

The EDC is expected to be fully operational in early 2026, with plans for a launch event at Region 14 ESC’s headquarters in Abilene.​
