Summary
Airwave Broadband Wireless
isp telecom business
The netname is the single word CENTRAL, and the one hostname that answered names a town in the desert.
What it's used for
- A fixed wireless ISP's network. 4,096 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, with two observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
75.98.240.0/20carries the netnameCENTRAL, registered to the company with a separate abuse contact.- One of three sampled addresses returned a name:
user75-98-251-254.wireless.blythe-ca.airwavebroadband.net. - The AS first appeared in routing on
2001-01-18.
Interesting
- That hostname carries four separate facts: that the address belongs to a subscriber, what the address is, that it is reached over radio rather than cable, and which town and state the radio sits in. Fixed wireless operators build names this way because their support staff need to know which tower a complaint is coming from before they pick up the phone.
- A netname of one ordinary dictionary word is what happens when the field is filled in as a note to self. It probably distinguished one block from another inside the company at the time, and it distinguishes nothing to anyone outside.
- The town in the hostname sits at the edge of a service area, which is where fixed wireless works best: line of sight, low population density, and nobody else willing to dig.
- Two neighbours for a single block is one more than most operators this size manage, and it is the difference between an outage and a bad afternoon.

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: 446 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
