Internet exchanges in Santa Catarina
Exchanges are attributed to the state through the city they sit in, because PeeringDB records a state for facilities but not for exchanges.

What a Santa Catarina IP address tells you
Capacity in Santa Catarina sits in more places than the facility count suggests. BR.Digital Florianópolis (FNS1) lists 12 networks, more than any other site in the state, and RNP/POP-SC and PIX CIASC add a few more in the same city. ClouDC - PAC1 in Palhoça lists 5. Joinville splits its presence between Neogrid Datacenter Joinville (Brasil TecPar) at 4 and Armazém Datacenter - Joinville at 3, and Ferenz Networks DC in Xaxim lists 4 well inland. FURB IX in Blumenau records only 3 participants, so most networks here exchange traffic outside the state.
A Santa Catarina address in a geolocation database reflects the record its operator published, not a measured position. Claro (AS22085), TIM (AS26615) and Vivo (AS26599, AS27699) aggregate mobile subscribers behind regional gateways, so a phone connected in Joinville or Blumenau can be placed by a lookup in another state, and a block labelled Santa Catarina can be answered by equipment nowhere near Florianópolis. State-level accuracy is weakest exactly where mobile traffic is heaviest.
The origin ASN on the specific prefix is firmer ground than a city name. A block announced by AS26599 or AS27699 belongs to Vivo's mobile network wherever the label points, and the netname on the registration names who holds it. For fixed hosting the picture is tighter: 12 recorded facilities and 38 network presences narrow the candidates to a handful of sites in Florianópolis, Palhoça and Joinville.

Questions
How many data centres are in Santa Catarina?
Twelve facilities are recorded across 8 cities, holding 38 network presences in total. BR.Digital Florianópolis (FNS1) lists 12 networks, ClouDC - PAC1 in Palhoça lists 5, and Joinville's two sites list 4 and 3. Smaller entries sit in Xaxim, Blumenau, Brusque, Videira and São José.
Is there an internet exchange in Santa Catarina?
Yes, one. FURB IX in Blumenau is the only exchange in the snapshot and it records 3 participants. With so few members, most networks in the state carry traffic elsewhere to peer rather than exchanging it inside Santa Catarina.
Can I get an IP address in Santa Catarina?
Where an address lands depends on how its operator registered the block, not on a customer request. Mobile ranges in particular are held nationally and routed through shared gateways, so a device in the state can read as being somewhere else and no state-level placement is guaranteed.
