Summary
Transkom
isp business legacy
Transkom is a German network operator based in Kaiserslautern, in Rhineland-Palatinate.
What it's used for
- Internet access including wireless service. A sampled address answers as
wlan1017.kaiserslautern.transkom.net, naming both the access medium and the city.
Notable
- One prefix and nothing else:
212.28.32.0/19, 8,192 addresses, with a single observed BGP neighbour. - The netname is
DE-TRANSKOM-990222, dating the assignment to the 22nd of February 1999. - No IPv6 announced.
Interesting
- Numbering wireless access points sequentially in reverse DNS —
wlan1017— turns the DNS into an equipment register, and the four-digit number suggests a deployment far larger than 8,192 addresses would support one-to-one. Wireless subscribers share address space through NAT, so the count of access points and the count of public addresses stopped tracking each other a long time ago.

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: 443 networks and 1,784 prefixes, as published 2026-10-19. 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.
