Idaho · network infrastructure
PeeringDB records seven facilities in Idaho across two cities, holding 25 network presences. Boise has five of the buildings and 18 of the presences, with ark data centers - Boise, ID listing nine networks. Coeur d'Alene holds the other seven, most of them at Neutron. IdahoIX in Boise is the state's one exchange, with four participants.
Internet exchanges in Idaho
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 |
|---|---|---|
| IdahoIX | Boise | 4 |

What a Idaho IP address tells you
Idaho's recorded capacity sits in two cities. Boise holds five facilities and 18 network presences, split between ark data centers - Boise, ID with nine, Level(3) Boise with four, Syringa Networks Boise with three, Tonaquint Data Center - Boise ID with two, and DataSite, Boise with none listed. Coeur d'Alene has Neutron - Coeur d'Alene on six networks and the CRALIDXX central office on one. IdahoIX sits in Boise with four participants, so networks in Coeur d'Alene reach their peers over links out of the state or through Boise.
An Idaho IP address describes an operator's registration, not a device's position. The address block geolocates to whatever the operator published, which for a network selling across several states is often a single office. Mobile traffic concentrates further, with AT&T on five ASNs, T-Mobile on five and Verizon on seven, each pooling subscribers behind regional gateways. A phone in Coeur d'Alene can present an address that databases place in Boise or in a state next door.
The origin ASN on a prefix is the more reliable check. If a lookup returns one of the carrier ASNs above, the address came from mobile infrastructure and its city label reflects a gateway rather than a tower. If it returns a network peering at IdahoIX or present in one of the seven facilities, the address belongs to fixed infrastructure in Boise or Coeur d'Alene. Reading the netname on the exact prefix shows which of the two you have.
Mobile carriers in the United States
A mobile address anywhere in Idaho 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 centers are in Idaho?
The snapshot lists seven facilities, five in Boise and two in Coeur d'Alene, with 25 network presences between them. ark data centers - Boise, ID holds nine of those and Neutron - Coeur d'Alene six. One Boise record, DataSite, lists no networks.
Is there an internet exchange in Idaho?
Yes. IdahoIX runs in Boise and reports four participants, a small number next to the 25 network presences counted in the state's facilities. Most networks in Idaho exchange traffic over private links or at exchanges in other states.
Can I get an IP address in Idaho?
Where an address lands follows the operator's registration, not a customer's choice of state. A block reads as Idaho when the network holding it registered an Idaho address for that prefix. Mobile addresses answer to carrier gateways instead, and those gateways cover areas far larger than Boise or Coeur d'Alene.
