The Freedom Center: South Florida’s Hemispheric Connectivity Nexus

Freedom Center

0:00

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.

Under the direction of Data Power Supply, the Freedom Center 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 Freedom Center 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 by Data Power Supply 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 Freedom Center 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 will exceed those standards.

The Hemisphere’s Broadcast and Data Bridge

Few facilities in the United States can match the Freedom Center’s 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 the Freedom Center is the anchor point of that transformation.

Tenant and Off-Taker Opportunities

Data Power Supply is currently onboarding enterprise tenants, AI and HPC operators, broadcast networks, and infrastructure off-takers seeking scalable colocation environments.

Ideal Tenants Include:

• AI / HPC Clusters — Liquid-ready environments for GPU-heavy compute.

• Broadcast & Streaming Networks — Dual-path (fiber + satellite) redundancy for live production and transmission.

• Financial / Regulated Enterprises — SOC-ready data operations with zero-tolerance uptime.

• Global Carriers & Edge Providers — Hemispheric connectivity nodes and low-latency interconnect points.

Each tenant gains the advantage of broadcast-grade power, global fiber reach, and satellite integration — all within a single, secure campus managed by one of the most experienced power-infrastructure teams in the industry.

The Next Chapter in Hemispheric Infrastructure

The Freedom Center’s rebirth represents more than an engineering project — it’s a return to purpose for a building that once connected a hemisphere through media.

Now, under Data Power Supply’s modernization and management, it’s being positioned to do it again — this time as the South Florida Hemispheric Connectivity Nexus, connecting computation, communication, and commerce across the Americas.

“This site was built to broadcast to a hemisphere. We’re simply giving it the power — and the purpose — to do it again.”
