Perth's densest interconnection address is in the CBD at 1 William Street, where Vocus operates PER01. Three exchanges land there - IX Australia Perth, better known as WA-IX, together with MegaIX Perth and EdgeIX Perth - and twenty-eight networks are reachable across them, an unusually high count for the Western Australian market. The position traces to March 2011, when Vocus bought PerthIX, the state's peering exchange operator, and deepened with its 2015 purchase of Amcom. The site code and the street address are about the whole of what Vocus discloses at building level: it keeps no public data-centre location directory, and neither a floor area nor a capacity figure nor a facility certification is published for William Street. A second Perth-area facility, PER02, sits at 5 Watts Place in Bentley Technology Park, on a site shared with Curtin University.

Frequently asked questions
Which internet exchanges land at 1 William Street?
Three: IX Australia Perth, also called WA-IX, plus MegaIX Perth and EdgeIX Perth.
How many networks can be reached at PER01?
Twenty-eight, alongside the three exchanges on site - an unusually high count for Perth.
How did Vocus come to hold this Perth position?
Through its March 2011 acquisition of PerthIX, the Western Australian peering exchange operator, and its 2015 purchase of Amcom.
What site-level detail does Vocus publish for PER01?
The code and the address, and little else. Vocus keeps no data-centre location directory on its website, so no floor area, capacity figure or facility certification exists for the William Street building.
How does PER01 differ from the Bentley facility?
PER01 is the CBD building at 1 William Street. PER02 is a separate two-storey facility at 5 Watts Place in Bentley Technology Park, shared with Curtin University, and its floor area, capacity and ownership history belong to that building alone.
