Yangon · Myanmar
PeeringDB records one internet exchange in Yangon, MMIX Yangon, with 45 participants, the highest count among Myanmar cities in the registry. Two colocation facilities appear, and only Myint & Associates Data Center reports a network. The carrier registry lists no Myanmar mobile ASNs, so a Yangon geolocation reflects an operator's registration rather than a device location.
Internet exchanges in Yangon
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 | Participants | Registry carriers peering |
|---|---|---|
MMIX Yangon Myanmar Internet Exchange | 45 | none in the registry |

What a Yangon IP address tells you
MMIX Yangon, which PeeringDB gives the long name Myanmar Internet Exchange, is the only exchange on record in the city, and its 45 participants account for the whole of Yangon's documented peering population. Colocation adds almost nothing on top. Myint & Associates Data Center reports a single network and Golden Myanmar Business Exchange reports none, so one network across two buildings sits beside 45 at the exchange. The registry attaches no carrier ASNs to MMIX Yangon, and it holds no mobile operator entries for Myanmar at all, so no handset network is recorded as peering here.
An address that a database places in Yangon need not be a device in Yangon. Operators announce address blocks from a registry record that carries one address for an entire allocation, and mobile traffic leaves a network through a small number of gateways that can sit far from the subscriber. Geolocation providers read the operator's own published location and repeat it, so a connection made elsewhere in Myanmar can still resolve to Yangon. The 45 networks at MMIX Yangon describe where routes meet, not where any customer connects.
The origin ASN and the netname on the specific prefix tell you more than the city field does. PeeringDB records no mobile ASNs for Myanmar, so a lookup cannot be matched against a published carrier list, and the whois netname on the block becomes the better signal for which operator holds it. A prefix registered to a fixed-line provider behaves differently from one fronting a mobile gateway, and a city label copied from the allocation's registered address shows neither.
Questions
Which internet exchanges are in Yangon?
PeeringDB lists one, MMIX Yangon, recorded under the long name Myanmar Internet Exchange, with 45 participants. No second exchange appears for the city. Networks that peer privately inside a facility rather than at the exchange do not appear in that participant count.
Do Myanmar mobile carriers peer in Yangon?
The registry attaches no carrier ASNs to MMIX Yangon, and the carrier registry holds no mobile operators for Myanmar, so nothing in the record shows a mobile network peering in the city. That is silence in the data rather than evidence that no such peering happens.
Does an IP that geolocates to Yangon mean the device is there?
No. The city label comes from the address block's registration and the operator's published location, not from the device. Someone connecting elsewhere in Myanmar can leave through a gateway whose addresses are registered in Yangon and will appear there in every database copying that record.
