Santiago · Dominican Republic
PeeringDB records three internet exchanges in Santiago, Dominican Republic: PIT DOMINICANO with 33 participants, STIX.DO with 30 and Azteca Telecom with 13, alongside one colocation facility, CEMO DC, holding 11 networks. The best connected exchange is PIT DOMINICANO. An IP that geolocates to Santiago identifies an operator's registry record, not a device's position.
Internet exchanges in Santiago
An exchange is a shared switch where networks hand traffic to each other directly. Participant counts come from PeeringDB, where each network maintains its own record.

|---|---|---|
PIT DOMINICANO Punto de Intercambio de Trafico Dominicano, S. R. L | 33 | none in the registry |
STIX.DO Santiago Internet Exhange | 30 | none in the registry |
Azteca Telecom | 13 | none in the registry |

What a Santiago IP address tells you
Santiago's recorded interconnection sits in its exchanges rather than in colocation. PIT DOMINICANO, the Punto de Intercambio de Trafico Dominicano, carries 33 participants and STIX.DO carries 30, with Azteca Telecom at 13, giving 76 participant records across the three. One facility, CEMO DC, appears in the registry with 11 networks present. PeeringDB lists no carrier ASNs at any of the three exchanges, and Altice, Claro and Viva, the Dominican mobile operators in the carrier registry, have no mobile ASNs recorded, so the data does not show where their mobile traffic peers.
An address that geolocates to Santiago tells you which network holds the block, not where the equipment using it sits. Operators announce prefixes from a registry record whose address can be an office somewhere else in the country. Mobile networks route subscriber traffic through a small number of gateways, so a phone in one province can leave the network through equipment in another. Geolocation databases follow the location the operator publishes for the block and inherit whatever that record says, including a stale one.
Someone checking a Santiago address can read the origin ASN announcing the specific prefix, then the netname and country field on the registry entry behind it. Those two say which network carries the block and which organisation registered it. Set that against the numbers above: if the origin ASN is not a participant at PIT DOMINICANO, STIX.DO or Azteca Telecom, nothing in PeeringDB ties the address to routing in Santiago. Reverse DNS on the prefix sometimes names the operator's own site code as well.

Questions
Which internet exchanges are in Santiago?
PeeringDB lists three. PIT DOMINICANO, the Punto de Intercambio de Trafico Dominicano, has 33 participants, STIX.DO has 30 and Azteca Telecom has 13, for 76 participant records in total. One colocation facility, CEMO DC, holds 11 networks in the same registry.
Do Dominican Republic mobile carriers peer in Santiago?
The registry does not say. Altice, Claro and Viva appear in the carrier registry for the Dominican Republic with no mobile ASNs recorded, and none of the three Santiago exchanges lists a carrier ASN among its participants, so mobile peering in the city is undocumented either way.
Does an IP that geolocates to Santiago mean the device is there?
No. The location comes from the operator's published record for the address block, so it can point at a registered office rather than the equipment using the address. Mobile traffic in particular exits through a few gateways, which can place a subscriber's address well away from the subscriber.
