Summary

Q-Wireless, LLC

United States · AI-generated

isp telecom business

Three blocks numbered in the order they arrived, and reverse names belonging to a company with a different name entirely.

What it's used for

  • A wireless broadband provider's network. 10,240 addresses across three IPv4 prefixes, with a single observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

  • The blocks carry QWIR-NETBLK-01, QWIR-NETBLK-02 and QWIR-NETBLK-03, all registered to Q-Wireless, LLC.
  • The numbering does not follow the addresses: 192.159.48.0/20 is the first, 162.219.144.0/21 the second and 23.226.192.0/20 the third.
  • Three of nine sampled addresses returned a name, all of the form 23-226-203-254.cst.watchcomm.net.

Interesting

  • Sequence numbers in netnames record acquisition order, not address order, so reading them in numeric order tells you the sequence in which this operator grew. The 192 range came first and the 23 range last, which matches how those ranges were handed out over the decades.
  • The reverse names carry an entirely different brand, with a cst label marking customer addresses. Either two companies share operations or one bought the other, and in both cases the reverse zone is the only public place the connection shows.
  • One neighbour for the whole network means every packet in and out crosses one relationship. For a wireless operator whose costs are towers rather than transit, that is a reasonable trade.
  • Three blocks, three netnames, one registrant, and nothing else on the record. This is about as small as a routed network's paperwork gets.

Reputation

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 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-24. 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.
