Recognition highlights Duos Edge AI’s modular infrastructure approach to expanding access to low-latency computing and connectivity in underserved communities

JACKSONVILLE, FL – October 20, 2026 – 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, modular, and scalable Edge Data Center (“EDC”) solutions, today announced that it has earned the Best Data Centre / Edge Service Innovation award at the 2026 Global Connectivity Awards.

For more than two decades, the Global Connectivity Awards have celebrated achievement and innovation across telecommunications and digital infrastructure. Through a rigorous judging process based on detailed criteria, the program honors creative, impactful, and high-quality initiatives shaping the industry’s future. Duos Edge AI’s approach centers on deploying enterprise-grade computing resources in communities that have historically lacked access to this infrastructure, supporting applications such as real-time AI processing, telemedicine, and digital learning without relying solely on distant hyperscale cloud facilities.

“Winning this award underscores the importance of bringing digital infrastructure closer to the communities and organizations that depend on it,” said Doug Recker, CEO of Duos Technologies Group, Inc. “Our approach is built around making high-performance edge computing more accessible, with modular deployments that can scale alongside local demand. We’re proud to see that work recognized as we continue expanding access to the infrastructure that supports education, healthcare, and economic opportunity.”

The award follows Duos’ Outstanding Innovation Award at PTC ’26 earlier this year, which recognized the Company’s modular Edge AI infrastructure for advancing digital equity, efficiency, and scalable connectivity. The latest win adds to a year of industry acknowledgment for Duos’ approach to distributed computing.

Looking ahead, Duos Edge AI is focused on expanding its edge data center platform through a repeatable, capital-efficient deployment model. Its modular architecture allows capacity to scale with regional demand, supporting rapid installation and resilient operations. The Company’s goal is to build a sustainable foundation for growth while giving local organizations the computing resources to adopt emerging technologies and expand their services.
