Summary
CWIE, LLC
hosting enterprise legacy
CWIE is the autonomous system of CWIE, LLC, a privately held hosting and IT-infrastructure company based in Tempe/Phoenix, Arizona. It routes a single ARIN-registered /20 and behaves like a small, self-contained hosting operator rather than a carrier.
What it's used for
RIS sees exactly one announced IPv4 prefix, 98.143.32.0/20 (4,096 addresses), and no IPv6. The prefix is registered to CWIE, LLC itself under the network handle SC-PHOENIX, so the space is first-party rather than leased-in or reassigned from an upstream. That handle also matches the company's own Arizona footprint, which is a useful cross-check: the registrant, the holder and the geography all agree, which is exactly the pattern a genuine operator produces and a re-leased block does not.
The observed neighbour count is 1. A wholesale carrier of any size peers with hundreds of ASes; a single adjacency means this AS buys transit and sells nothing upstream. Combined with a compact, dense, self-registered block, the shape is a hosting estate — servers and customer workloads inside one provider's own address space — not an eyeball access network and not transit.
Notable
CWIE describes itself as an infrastructure-as-a-service provider operating since 1996, offering dedicated servers through cloud hosting. That self-description is consistent with the inventory here, which is the test that matters: when marketing and routing disagree, routing wins, and in this case they agree.
Interesting
The /20 is the whole network. There is no sprawl, no multi-RIR scatter and no third-party registrant in the prefix records, so none of the IP-leasing tells apply.

Interconnection
Peering at a glance
Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Transit providers
1 upstream, 0 downstream and 1 adjacent networks observed; most-used upstreams first.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-14, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Classification and threat
Hosting Datacenter or cloud provider. Addresses are servers, not people.
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 1,773 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
