Internet exchanges in Alberta
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 Alberta IP address tells you
Calgary holds most of the province's capacity. Arrow Calgary DC2 records 29 networks and Datahive 27, with Equinix CL3 and Arrow Calgary DC1 at 15 each and Rogers Calgary DC2 at six. Edmonton is far thinner in the record, where Wolfpaw Edmonton 1 has six networks and the University of Alberta one. Outside those two cities the record falls to eStruxture CAL-2 in Rocky View with three networks and O-NET ABOL1 CO in Olds with one. Traffic meets locally at YYCIX in Calgary, which has 93 participants, while YEGIX in Edmonton has nine.
An Alberta IP address tells you what the operator registered for the block, not where the equipment is installed. Geolocation databases repeat the published record, so a prefix registered to a Calgary address can cover devices anywhere the operator serves. Bell, Rogers, Telus and Freedom Mobile aggregate their subscribers behind regional gateways, which means a phone in Edmonton or Olds can be reported in Calgary, and traffic from Alberta can present an address registered in another province.
Look at the origin ASN and the netname on the prefix rather than the city a database prints. Telus announces mobile traffic from AS14663 and Bell from AS36522, while Rogers uses AS18475, AS20453 and AS36676, and Freedom Mobile uses AS20365 and AS36273. Alberta's 117 network presences sit in 19 facilities across five cities, and 102 networks peer at its two exchanges, so a single Calgary building can hold the announcing point for space that maps to several parts of the province.

Questions
How many data centres are in Alberta?
The snapshot lists 19 facilities across five cities, holding 117 network presences. Arrow Calgary DC2 is the densest with 29 networks, followed by Datahive with 27 and by Equinix CL3 and Arrow Calgary DC1 with 15 each. Edmonton's densest entry is Wolfpaw Edmonton 1 with six.
Is there an internet exchange in Alberta?
Yes, two of them. YYCIX in Calgary has 93 participants and YEGIX in Edmonton has nine, and 102 networks peer across the pair. Networks in the province can exchange traffic in Calgary instead of carrying it to Toronto or Vancouver first.
Can I get an IP address in Alberta?
An address reads as Alberta when its holder registers an Alberta record for the prefix, so placement follows the operator's registration rather than a customer's choice. Mobile addresses come from the gateway carrying the session, and the four national operators run those gateways regionally, not per city.
