Summary

Vodafone Group

Global · AI-generated

transit isp enterprise

A major Vodafone Group network (CW Vodafone Group PLC), carrying the former

Cable & Wireless Worldwide international backbone and enterprise services.

What it's used for

  • Global IP transit and managed enterprise/WAN connectivity for Vodafone's business customers, built on the acquired Cable & Wireless network.

Notable

  • Vodafone runs many national ASNs for its mobile and fixed operators; AS1273 is the international/enterprise backbone side, not a specific country's consumer broadband.

Interesting

  • Cable & Wireless traced its roots to 19th-century telegraph cabling; Vodafone absorbed that global backbone in 2012 and still runs it under this ASN.
