telemaxx telekommunikation gmbh: POP TPK Data Center

The POP Technologiepark Karlsruhe (formerly known as IPC 2) is a secondary-site data centre located in the heart of the Technologiepark Karlsruhe (TPK) campus in Karlsruhe, Germany. Operated by TelemaxX Telekommunikation GmbH, this facility was originally built as the redundancy data centre for IPC 1 and now serves as a high-availability point-of-presence (POP) within the TelemaxX network. 

Its strategic positioning within the Karlsruhe technology region provides excellent connections to regional research, engineering and industrial environments, and benefits from strong fibre-optic infrastructure and proximity to key carriers and network hubs.

Although marketed primarily as a network POP rather than a full-scale commercial colocation site, the facility provides TelemaxX customers with reliable connectivity and network resilience in a lower-profile location within a high-density tech ecosystem.

⚙️ Facility Highlights

• Formerly built as a full redundancy-data-centre (IPC 2) for IPC 1, now repurposed as POP for TelemaxX’s network. 
• Located within Technologiepark Karlsruhe (TPK), giving access to advanced tech campus infrastructure and regional connectivity advantages. 
• Infrastructure supports redundant power feeds and cooling systems in line with TelemaxX’s wider data-centre standards (though specific redundancy-level and certification details are not publicly specified for this building). 
• Designed for reliable network access and high availability of service rather than heavy public colocation marketing — noted as “use as POP in the TelemaxX network; colocation no active marketing.” 

🔐 Security & Compliance

• TelemaxX’s facilities are described as “secure, always available & energy efficient” throughout their Karlsruhe portfolio. 
• While specific certifications for the IPC 2 building are not publicly disclosed (“certification n.s.”) according to TelemaxX’s site. 
• The operator uses multi-level access controls, secure physical infrastructure, redundant power and climate systems for its data-centre operations (as described generically for their colocation offering).

🌐 Connectivity & Carrier Access

• The facility is listed in PeeringDB as being operated by TelemaxX at Emmy-Noether Straße 9, 76131 Karlsruhe; listing shows network presence and location details. 
• As a POP location, it is integrated into TelemaxX’s own fibre-optic backbone network in the Karlsruhe region, offering high-performance IP/transport connectivity for TelemaxX clients. 
• Its setting inside the Karlsruhe technology region provides access to regional carriers, multiple fibre paths and proximity to higher-capacity national backhaul routes to Frankfurt and beyond. (Inferred from regional infrastructure context.) 

💼 Who It Serves

• Network-centric customers and telecom operators seeking a resilient POP point in the Karlsruhe region for aggregation, transit, peering or backup connectivity.
• Enterprises or service providers with existing TelemaxX connectivity who need diversification, regional resilience or secondary site access in Karlsruhe.
• Research institutions, engineering firms or industry-centric businesses headquartered in the Baden-Württemberg region looking for reliable network presence rather than full-scale public colocation footprint.
• Companies requiring high-quality connectivity with German data-sovereignty and robust regional fibre infrastructure in a technology cluster environment.
