What a Medellin IP address tells you
Medellin's recorded capacity is split fairly evenly between the exchange and colocation. PIT - Colombia - Medellin carries 11 participants, which is the city's entire peer count in the registry, and its two facilities hold 17 networks, nine at Gtd Colombia - Medellin and eight at Internexa Medellin Colombia. The exchange entry lists no carrier ASNs, so no Colombian mobile operator is recorded peering here, and the mobile ASNs in the carrier registry, Claro on AS26611, Tigo on AS27831 and WOM on AS271773, appear nowhere in its participant list. Movistar has no mobile ASN there either.
An address that a database places in Medellin need not be a device in Medellin. Operators register address blocks with one location for the whole allocation, and that record is what geolocation databases read. Mobile traffic leaves the operator's network through a small number of gateways, which concentrates many subscribers onto addresses published under a single city. The city field describes paperwork and routing design rather than a position on a map.
Anyone checking a Medellin address should look at the origin ASN and the netname on the prefix. Those say whether the block belongs to a mobile network or to a customer hosted in a facility such as Gtd Colombia - Medellin. With 11 participants at the local exchange, much of the Colombian traffic that a database labels Medellin is exchanged elsewhere, which is another reason the label is weak evidence about hardware.

Questions
Which internet exchanges are in Medellin?
PeeringDB records one, PIT - Colombia - Medellin, with 11 participants, and holds no long-form name for it. Alongside the exchange, Gtd Colombia - Medellin holds nine networks and Internexa Medellin Colombia eight, for 17 network presences in the city.
Do Colombian mobile carriers peer in Medellin?
The exchange record lists no carrier ASNs, so neither Claro (AS26611), Tigo (AS27831) nor WOM (AS271773) is recorded as peering at PIT - Colombia - Medellin, and Movistar has no mobile ASN in the carrier registry. Operators may still route through the city without a PeeringDB entry.
Does an IP that geolocates to Medellin mean the device is there?
No. The label follows the registry record for the address block and the operator's own published location. On mobile networks those addresses are shared across a wide area behind a few gateways, so the city a lookup returns can be far from the handset.
