Duos Technologies Group has deployed a new edge data center located at Region 14 ESC’s campus in Abilene, Texas, expanding its footprint in the state, and adding local computing capacity for public education and other regional users.
The facility was developed through Duos’ subsidiary, Duos Edge AI, in partnership with the Region 14 Education Service Center. It will operate as a carrier-neutral colocation site and computing hub serving more than 40 school districts and charter schools across an 11-county region of West Texas that spans roughly 13,000 square miles.
In a press release Duos states that the edge data center is designed to provide higher bandwidth, secure data processing, and low-latency access to cloud and artificial intelligence applications. By hosting computing resources locally, the project aims to reduce dependence on distant centralized data centers and improve digital access for rural and underserved communities.
According to the companies, the Abilene edge data center is scheduled to become fully operational in early 2026. A formal launch event is planned at Region 14 ESC headquarters once commissioning is complete.
Region 14 ESC supports K–12 school systems as well as workforce development, healthcare, and community programs. The new facility is expected to support educational technology platforms, administrative systems, and AI-enabled tools used by schools and public-sector partners, while also being available to local enterprises that require regional data processing and connectivity.
The Abilene deployment follows similar projects completed by Duos Edge AI in other parts of Texas, including Amarillo, Waco, and Victoria. These combined installations reflect a broader strategy to place smaller, modular data centers closer to end users in education, healthcare, and enterprise markets.
Duos Technologies Group is publicly traded on Nasdaq under the ticker DUOT. Duos Edge AI focuses on modular edge data center systems designed to be deployed in regional and non-urban markets where traditional hyperscale facilities are less practical.
