Mérida · Mexico
PeeringDB records one exchange in Mérida, IXSY (Internet Exchange Services Yucatán), with 15 participants, and four colocation facilities holding 12 network presences between them. MTP Sites Merida Edge has the most at four. An address that geolocates to Mérida shows where an operator registered the block, not where a device sits.
Internet exchanges in Mérida
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.

Exchange records: PeeringDB.
Colocation facilities
Buildings where networks put equipment. The network count is how many PeeringDB members list a presence there, which shows where capacity in the city sits.
| Facility | Networks present | Address |
|---|---|---|
| MTP Sites Merida Edge | 4 | Calle 87 número 601 Col. Centro |
| KIO Mérida 1 (MER1) | 3 | Calle 11 #318 Col. Montebello |
| Aitelecom Mérida | 3 | Periférico Norte KM 34.8 Tablaje No. 26535 Col. Nueva San José Chuburná |

What a Mérida IP address tells you
IXSY, registered as Internet Exchange Services Yucatán, is the only exchange PeeringDB records in Mérida and carries all 15 of the city's exchange participants. Colocation is close behind in scale and split four ways. MTP Sites Merida Edge records four networks, KIO Mérida 1 (MER1) and Aitelecom Mérida three each, and KIO Mérida 2 (MER2) two, for 12 presences. Neither the exchange nor the four facilities show a Mexican mobile carrier ASN in this data.
Fifteen exchange participants and 12 facility presences describe the networks that meet in Mérida, which is a narrower set than the addresses a lookup will label with the city. Operators announce address blocks from a registry record that carries one location for a range used across a network, and mobile traffic leaves through a handful of gateways that need not be in Mérida at all. Databases copy the operator's published location, so the city label describes paperwork rather than a handset's position.
The origin ASN on the specific prefix and the netname on its registry object are the fields worth reading. They name the network that announces the range and the organisation behind the registration. Checking that network against the IXSY participant list, or against the four Mérida facilities, shows whether it has anything in the city, which a geolocation lookup on its own never establishes.
Questions
Which internet exchanges are in Mérida?
One. PeeringDB records IXSY, registered as Internet Exchange Services Yucatán, with 15 participants. Four colocation facilities add 12 more network presences, split between MTP Sites Merida Edge with four, KIO Mérida 1 (MER1) and Aitelecom Mérida with three each, and KIO Mérida 2 (MER2) with two.
Do Mexican mobile carriers peer in Mérida?
The IXSY participant list in this data carries no mobile carrier ASN, and no mobile operator is recorded at the city's four facilities either. Private interconnection never reaches the registry, so this shows only that no public record places a Mexican mobile network in Mérida.
Does an IP that geolocates to Mérida mean the device is there?
No. It means an operator registered that block with a Mérida location, or a database followed the same record. Mobile addresses are assigned from pools behind gateways that can serve a whole region, so the user may be nowhere near the city named.
