AS10031 WEBSATMEDIA-AS WEBSATMEDIA PTE LTD, Satellite Over IP, Singapore

WEBSATMEDIA-AS belongs to WebSatMedia Pte Ltd, a Singapore company founded in 2000

that sells "satellite over IP" — internet and telecoms capacity delivered by VSAT from

its own teleports rather than by fibre to the customer's door.

What it's used for

• Satellite IP connectivity sold to downstream ISPs, VoIP providers, telcos and multinational enterprises with sites in places terrestrial backhaul does not reach.
• Terminating that satellite capacity onto the public internet from teleports in Singapore and Ecuador, with NOCs in Singapore, Indonesia and Timor-Leste.

Notable

• This is a business/wholesale access provider, not a carrier. RIS shows a real footprint of 27 IPv4 prefixes carrying 9,472 addresses plus a single IPv6 block (2404:aa00::/32) — but only 3 observed BGP neighbours. A wholesale transit carrier at this address count would peer with hundreds of ASes; three adjacencies is the shape of a specialist provider that buys upstream and resells downstream.
• The prefixes are almost all APNIC-era space (202.68.176.0/20, 203.166.128.0/20, 202.170.72.0/24), consistent with a long-established Singapore holder rather than a recently assembled block.

Interesting

• Address count is a poor guide to reach here. A satellite operator's IPs sit at remote customer sites that can be thousands of kilometres from Singapore, so geolocating this space to the registered country will often be wrong — the beam, not the registry, tells you where the user is.
