- The company has customer commitment for an additional 8 Edge Data Centers and expects to deploy 15 by the end of the year.
- The growth is driven by strategic partnerships and asset management agreements, enabling rapid deployment and market penetration.

Revenue and Financial Performance Improvement:

- Gross margin increased 1288% to $1.31 million, primarily due to Duos Energy's Asset Management Agreement with New APR.
- Financial improvement was attributed to the commencement of the Asset Management Agreement and increasing revenue from Duos Energy.

Edge Data Center and Hyperscaler Opportunities:
- Duos is actively pursuing opportunities in the Edge Data Center market, with interest from hyperscalers for computing power deployment.
