PeeringDB records 36 facilities in Oregon across 11 cities, holding 250 network presences between them. Portland and Hillsboro carry most of that capacity, and PTOR1 in Portland lists 70 networks, more than any other site in the state. Oregon has six internet exchanges, and 135 networks peer inside it.
Internet exchanges in Oregon
Exchanges are attributed to the state through the city they sit in, because PeeringDB records a state for facilities but not for exchanges.

| Central Oregon Internet Exchange | Bend | 14 |
| Willamette Internet Exchange | Eugene | 13 |

What a Oregon IP address tells you
Portland and Hillsboro hold the bulk of the recorded capacity. PTOR1 in Portland lists 70 networks, and Hillsboro carries a cluster of its own with EdgeConneX Portland at 25 networks, Flexential Portland/Hillsboro 2 at 23 and QTS Hillsboro at 11. Traffic can meet inside the state instead of leaving it. NWAX in Portland has 94 participants, Central Oregon Internet Exchange in Bend has 14 and Willamette Internet Exchange in Eugene has 13. Smaller counts turn up in Beaverton, Clackamas and Brookings.
An Oregon address in a geolocation database reflects what the operator registered for that block, not a measurement of where the device connects. Mobile networks concentrate subscribers behind a small number of regional gateways, so a phone in Bend or Eugene can present an address that a lookup places in Portland, or in a neighbouring state. AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon each announce mobile traffic from several ASNs, among them AS20057 and AS27522 for AT&T and AS21928 for T-Mobile, and none of those numbers is specific to Oregon.
Check the origin ASN and the netname on the exact prefix rather than the city label a lookup prints. A block announced by an operator with a presence in the Portland or Hillsboro cluster carries a stronger regional claim than one that only shows a state name. The 250 network presences and 135 peering networks in this snapshot describe where infrastructure is registered, and a routing record that disagrees with a geolocation result is usually the more reliable of the two.
Mobile carriers in the United States
A mobile address anywhere in Oregon 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 Oregon?
The snapshot lists 36 facilities spread over 11 Oregon cities, with 250 network presences recorded between them. Hillsboro holds the densest group of sites, and PTOR1 in Portland is the single facility with the most networks at 70. Most other facilities in the state carry single-digit counts.
Is there an internet exchange in Oregon?
Six of them. NWAX in Portland is the busiest with 94 participants. Central Oregon Internet Exchange in Bend has 14 and Willamette Internet Exchange in Eugene has 13, with smaller exchanges in Portland and Brookings. Across the state 135 networks peer at one of them.
Can I get an IP address in Oregon?
Placement follows the operator's address registration, not a customer's choice of state. A block geolocates to Oregon when the network holding it registered it there and announces it from an Oregon presence. The operator decides that, and mobile blocks are often registered to a wider region than one state.
