A New Kind of Colocation: Inside the Freedom Center

In Sunrise, Florida, a legacy broadcast facility is being transformed into something rare in today’s data center landscape: a power-forward, media-native, hemispheric colocation campus.



Formerly the headquarters for HBO Latin America, the property now known as The Freedom Center is entering its next chapter under the direction of Data Power Supply — reopening the site to enterprise, media, AI, and infrastructure tenants seeking more than standard colocation. This is not a generic data hall retrofit. It is a purpose-built convergence of broadcast-grade power, global connectivity, and scalable compute, designed for organizations that need certainty, reach, and resilience from day one.


Built Different: Colocation with Broadcast DNA

The Freedom Center was originally engineered for mission-critical broadcast operations spanning an entire hemisphere. That DNA remains intact — and it matters.

Unlike commodity facilities built around minimum viable redundancy, this campus was designed from the ground up for zero-tolerance uptime, live transmission, and international distribution. Data Power Supply’s modernization strategy builds on that foundation, extending it to support:

  • AI and GPU-dense workloads

  • Media production, streaming, and distribution

  • Enterprise and regulated infrastructure

  • Disaster recovery and warm-site operations


What’s emerging is a new category of colocation — one that blends compute, connectivity, and media infrastructure into a single operational environment.


Power That Scales with You

At the core of the Freedom Center is 4 MW of dedicated live power, distributed across dual hardened buildings on a secure 6.5-acre campus.

Key characteristics include:

  • N+1 redundancy across all systems, with an engineered path to N+2

  • Dual Caterpillar generator systems with independent fuel and feed paths

  • Hardened electrical distribution designed to remain operational during regional outages


This is broadcast-grade power — now extended to support AI-density, enterprise compute, and long-term power certainty. For tenants, that means confidence not just in today’s deployment, but in future expansion.


Connectivity Where Fiber Meets Satellite

What truly differentiates the Freedom Center as a colocation platform is its hybrid connectivity architecture.


Carrier-Neutral Fiber

  • Tier-1 fiber with diverse routing

  • Low-latency westbound paths to Los Angeles

  • Southern routes through the NAP of the Americas into Latin America

On-Site Satellite Teleport

  • Active uplink and downlink capabilities

  • Integrated satellite backhaul

  • A redundant connectivity layer unavailable in most data centers


This convergence of terrestrial, subsea, and satellite pathways positions the campus as a hemispheric bridge — ideal for organizations serving audiences, customers, or infrastructure across North America, Latin America, and the Caribbean.


Space Designed for Modern Compute and Media

The Freedom Center offers immediate and scalable colocation options:

  • 70,000+ sq. ft. of raised-floor data halls

  • 50,000 sq. ft. of flexible build-out capacity

  • Liquid-ready cooling for GPU-dense and AI-training deployments

  • Hot/cold aisle containment and modular expansion capability


In addition, the campus retains broadcast suites and dark rooms designed for live production, encoding, transcoding, and streaming — infrastructure that would be prohibitively expensive to replicate today.


This makes the facility uniquely suited for media-forward compute, where content creation and data processing operate side by side.


A Strategic Location with Hemispheric Reach

Located in Sunrise, Florida, the Freedom Center sits at a strategic intersection of global networks. Its proximity to Miami’s NAP of the Americas positions the campus as a primary edge node for organizations expanding into Latin America while maintaining low-latency access to U.S. markets.


For tenants, this translates into:

  • Faster cross-hemispheric data exchange

  • Direct access to international carrier ecosystems

  • A scalable foothold for AI, media, and enterprise growth


South Florida’s role in global digital infrastructure continues to accelerate — and the Freedom Center is purpose-positioned to anchor that growth.


Now Accepting Colocation Tenants

Data Power Supply is actively onboarding tenants and infrastructure partners seeking resilient, scalable colocation environments.


Ideal tenants include:

  • AI and HPC operators requiring liquid-ready GPU infrastructure

  • Broadcast and streaming networks needing fiber + satellite redundancy

  • Enterprise and regulated workloads with zero-tolerance uptime needs

  • Global carriers and edge providers seeking hemispheric interconnection


Each tenant benefits from broadcast-grade power, global connectivity, and satellite integration — all within a single, secure campus managed by a power-first infrastructure team.


The Future of Colocation Is Hybrid

The Freedom Center represents a shift in how colocation is defined.

It is not just space and power.It is infrastructure with intent — designed to connect computation, communication, and culture across an entire hemisphere. Under Data Power Supply’s stewardship, the Freedom Center is redefining what colocation can be in the AI and media age — resilient, connected, and built for what comes next.
