Its primary site, "RIX-TG," is located at Tæknigarður (The Centre for Technical Innovation), part of the University of Iceland.

It offers peering at port speeds of 1Gbs/10Gbs/100Gbs using mix of Cisco and Juniper switch fabrics. RIX is currently Iceland's only neutral policy internet exchange.

All ISPs in Iceland are connected, as well as RÚV (The Icelandic public broadcaster) as well as international providers such as Cloudflare.
RIX has seen a large portion of its traffic offloaded since 2021 as four major Icelandic ISPs as well as RÚV started——to peer at a new private exchange, Múli-IXP, which is operated by Vodafone Iceland, hosted in a Síminn facility (Ármúli 25), which also hosts one of the RIX sites. Múli-IXP sees traffic of around 40 Gb/s.
