Summary
Multibyte Info Technology
mobile mvno iot roaming
MITL-HK is Multibyte Info Technology Limited (博元訊息科技有限公司), a Hong Kong company founded in 2000 that operates as a mobile virtual network operator across Hong Kong and mainland China, with a branch in Guangzhou.
What it's used for
- Carrying mobile subscriber and machine traffic, not servers. Multibyte holds a Hong Kong Communications Authority licence as an MVNO and a mainland Chinese value-added telecoms licence, and sells local data, global roaming, IoT/M2M SIMs reaching 80-plus roaming networks, and white-label and private-network mobile solutions.
- RIS sees 10 IPv4 prefixes covering 1,792 addresses and 2 IPv6 prefixes (
2402:15c0:6::/48and2402:15c0:16::/48). The v4 space is two small clusters,116.206.208.0/23–116.206.211.0/24and103.77.192.0/23–103.77.195.0/24.
Notable
- Mobile, and the address count is the argument rather than a problem for it. Under two thousand routable addresses would be absurdly small for a hosting or eyeball fixed-line network, but it is entirely normal for an MVNO: handsets and IoT SIMs sit behind carrier-grade NAT and the public space is needed only for the packet-core egress, the roaming interconnects and the platform that provisions the SIMs.
- The 16 observed BGP neighbours fit an operator that peers at Hong Kong exchanges to reach content directly, while being nowhere near the hundreds-to-thousands of adjacencies a wholesale transit carrier would show.
Interesting
- Multibyte's PeeringDB record claims 1,000 IPv4 and 1,000 IPv6 prefixes. RIS observes ten and two. PeeringDB fields are self-reported, not registry data, and when the marketing and the routing table disagree the routing table is the honest one.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 442 networks and 1,781 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
