Summary
LightWave Networks
hosting colocation business
LIGHTWAVE-NETWORKS is operated by LightWave Networks.
What it's used for
- The address space carries business hosting and colocation infrastructure, evidenced by reverse DNS entries pointing to
lightwavenetworks.comand netnames likeNETRIPLEX-BOS-173-237-192-0-20. - The AS announces 3072 IPv4 addresses across 7 prefixes and 2 IPv6 prefixes, with only 3 observed neighbours, indicating a hosting or access network rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- Registrants for the majority of prefixes are Netriplex Corporation, while the AS holder is LightWave Networks, suggesting a relationship between the two entities or leased space.
- The address inventory is concentrated in the 173.237.0.0/16 range, with smaller blocks in 69.166.0.0/16, 70.35.0.0/16, and 206.31.0.0/16.

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 1,782 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. 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.
