Pernambuco · network infrastructure
Pernambuco's snapshot lists 8 facilities in 2 cities, together holding 32 network presences. Recife carries almost all of them, and BR.Digital Recife (RCE1) alone lists 16 networks, half the state's total. One internet exchange is recorded, IX.br (PTT.br) Caruaru, and it counts 6 participants.
Internet exchanges in Pernambuco
Exchanges are attributed to the state through the city they sit in, because PeeringDB records a state for facilities but not for exchanges.
| Exchange | City | Participants |
|---|---|---|
| IX.br (PTT.br) Caruaru | Caruaru | 6 |
Colocation facilities
Buildings where networks put equipment. The network count is how many PeeringDB members list a presence there.
| Facility | City | Networks present |
|---|---|---|
| BR.Digital Recife (RCE1) | Recife | 16 |
| 1 Telecom | Recife | 6 |
| PIX DTEL RECIFE | Recife | 4 |
| SMART NETWORKS | Recife | 2 |
| HOTlink Internet LTDA | Recife | 2 |
| BR.Digital Caruaru (CRU1) | Caruaru | 2 |
| Vescnet | Recife | 0 |
| 1 Telecom Caruaru | Caruaru | 0 |
What a Pernambuco IP address tells you
Recife holds nearly everything the snapshot records. BR.Digital Recife (RCE1) lists 16 networks, half of the state's 32 presences, with 1 Telecom at 6 and PIX DTEL RECIFE at 4 behind it, then SMART NETWORKS and HOTlink Internet LTDA at 2 each. Caruaru is the only other recorded city, where BR.Digital Caruaru (CRU1) lists 2. Traffic can meet inside the state at IX.br (PTT.br) Caruaru, but its 6 participants are a small share of the networks present, so most interconnection in Pernambuco happens privately or beyond the state.
An address block reads as Pernambuco because its operator registered it to an address there, which is a filing rather than a measurement. Claro (AS22085), TIM (AS26615) and Vivo (AS26599, AS27699) concentrate mobile subscribers behind regional gateways, so a phone connected in Recife can appear to a lookup in another state, and a range labelled Pernambuco can be answered by equipment elsewhere in Brazil. Treat a state label on a mobile address as approximate.
Check the origin ASN on the specific prefix and the netname on its registration. Those tell you which network announces the address and who holds the block, which is steadier than a city guess that a vendor can revise. Fixed hosting is easier to pin down here, since 32 network presences across 8 recorded facilities leave few buildings in Recife and Caruaru to account for.
Mobile carriers in Brazil
A mobile address anywhere in Pernambuco is routed by one of the country's operators. Each entry lists the operator's ASNs so you can check which network an address belongs to.
Questions
How many data centres are in Pernambuco?
Eight facilities are recorded, in Recife and Caruaru, holding 32 network presences between them. BR.Digital Recife (RCE1) lists 16 networks, 1 Telecom lists 6 and PIX DTEL RECIFE lists 4. BR.Digital Caruaru (CRU1) lists 2, and two entries list none.
Is there an internet exchange in Pernambuco?
Yes. IX.br (PTT.br) Caruaru is the only exchange in the snapshot, with 6 participants. That is well under the number of networks present in the state, so much of Pernambuco's traffic is exchanged privately or carried out of the state to peer.
Can I get an IP address in Pernambuco?
Placement follows the operator's registration, not a customer's preference for a state. Mobile blocks are registered nationally and shared across gateways, so a device in Recife can read as being elsewhere and no network guarantees an address that geolocates to Pernambuco.
