Basel's municipal utility keeps a data centre of its own at Dachsfelderstrasse 17, the only one inside the city - the Basel area's other facilities sit out at Münchenstein and Muttenz. IWB supplies electricity, gas, district heating, water and telecoms to the Canton of Basel-Stadt, so the building's operator and its power company are the same public enterprise. Twenty-three networks have been recorded in it since July 2010, among them Cogent, Init7 and SWITCH, the Swiss national research and education network, and the most recent arrived in February 2026.
