The Idaho Internet Exchange (IdahoIX) is a community-driven initiative aimed at enhancing internet connectivity and lowering costs in Idaho. This is achieved by creating more internet access points in the region, making it the first of its kind in the state.

IdahoIX unites internet service providers (ISPs), transport carriers, mobile and content providers and internet users to exchange internet traffic inexpensively through a shared switch fabric hosted in ark’s Boise data center. By peering directly and eliminating third-party carriers, IdahoIX strengthens local connectivity and keeps costs lower for all participants.
