South Florida’s Hemispheric Connectivity Nexus

In Sunrise, Florida, a broadcast legend is being reborn.

What once served as the HBO Latin America Broadcast Headquarters is now undergoing a new evolution — emerging as The Freedom Center, a Hemispheric Connectivity Nexus for AI, media, and enterprise infrastructure.

The facility is being modernized, re-energized, and repositioned to meet the demands of the AI era — transforming a world-class broadcast facility into a strategic media and data hub that connects North America, Latin America, and the Caribbean.

Reviving a Legacy — Powering the Future

The location already had a story worth telling. Built to broadcast-grade standards for HBO Latin America, the facility was engineered for mission-critical uptime, multi-platform transmission, and hemispheric reach.

Now, that same architectural foundation is being retrofitted and reimagined into a next-generation platform for AI, high-performance compute, and global connectivity tenants.

The modernization effort focuses on three core areas:

• Power Certainty — Strengthening electrical infrastructure for high-density AI and enterprise workloads.

• Connectivity Expansion — Integrating Tier-1 fiber and satellite pathways for global broadcast and data transmission.

• Tenant Scalability — Creating modular environments for enterprise colocation, GPU clusters, and media operations.

This isn’t just a rebuild — it’s a strategic revival of hemispheric infrastructure.

Power You Can Build On

At the heart of the property is a 4 MW dedicated live power system, distributed across dual hardened buildings on a secure 6.5-acre campus.

Every subsystem runs at N+1 redundancy, with an engineered track to N+2 within the year. Backup reliability is reinforced through dual Caterpillar generator systems with independent fuel and feed paths, ensuring continuous operation for broadcast-grade and AI-critical workloads alike.

Power here isn’t speculative — it’s verified. This site was built to stay live when everything else goes dark, and under Data Power Supply’s modernization plan, it could exceed those standards.

The Hemisphere’s Broadcast and Data Bridge

Few facilities in the United States include hybrid connectivity profile — a blend of terrestrial, subsea, and satellite capabilities that position it as a hemispheric crossroads for data and media.

• Tier-1 Carrier-Neutral Fiber: The site offers diverse routing options with low-latency westbound paths to Los Angeles and southern routes through NAP of the Americas, enabling seamless connectivity into Latin American and Caribbean markets.

• On-Site Satellite Teleport: A fully operational teleport array provides active uplink and downlink functionality, allowing broadcast and enterprise tenants to integrate satellite backhaul directly into their data operations.

• Global Resilience: This dual-path architecture — fiber + satellite — makes the campus uniquely suited for organizations that cannot afford downtime. Whether it’s a media network broadcasting across continents or an AI firm training models on real-time global data, the Freedom Center delivers both reach and reliability.

Purpose-Built for Modern Workloads

The modernization plan retains the broadcast bones of the original facility but layers in the infrastructure needed for AI-scale computation and hybrid enterprise operations.

• High-Density Compute Readiness: Over 70,000 sq. ft. of raised-floor data halls and 50,000 sq. ft. of flexible build-out capacity — liquid-ready and optimized for GPU-dense or AI-training deployments.

• Broadcast and Media Infrastructure: Existing broadcast suites and dark rooms have been refurbished to support live production, encoding, transcoding, and streaming.

• Enterprise Reliability: With multi-layer physical security, 24/7 on-site operations, and SOC-ready compliance, the site meets the standards required for hyperscale, financial, and government workloads.

This combination of legacy infrastructure and modern engineering makes the Freedom Center a rare hybrid — both a broadcast fortress and a compute powerhouse.

Strategic Advantage: The South Florida Gateway

Geographically and technically, Sunrise sits at the intersection of North American fiber backbones and Latin American gateways. The proximity to Miami’s NAP of the Americas positions the Freedom Center as a primary edge node for organizations seeking low-latency interconnection with both continents.

For tenants, that means:

• Faster cross-hemispheric data exchange

• Access to international network backbones

• A strategic foothold for AI, broadcast, and enterprise expansion into Latin America

South Florida’s role in the global connectivity ecosystem is accelerating — and this spot is the anchor point of that transformation.
