Summary
Liquid Intelligent Technologies
transit telecom pan-african nsp
The AS handle LIQUID-AS is held by Liquid Intelligent Technologies, formerly known as Liquid Telecom.
What it's used for
- The address space carries infrastructure for a pan-African telecommunications and digital services provider, with reverse DNS entries like
41.72.207.255.liquidtelecom.netandmail.africalegalnetwork.com. - With 274,944 IPv4 addresses announced across 236 prefixes and 1,009 observed neighbours, the high neighbour count relative to the address inventory indicates a transit and network service provider role rather than a simple access network.
Notable
- Registrants for the largest prefixes, such as
41.174.0.0/18and41.60.160.0/19, are consistently listed as Liquid Telecommunications Operations Limited under the netnameORG-LTOL1-AFRINIC, aligning with the AS holder. - The operator rebranded from Liquid Telecom to Liquid Intelligent Technologies as part of a business transformation from a telecommunications provider to a broader technology group.
- The inventory includes significant blocks in the 41.0.0.0/8 range, reflecting its historical footprint in African address space, alongside UK-registered corporate entities.

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: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. 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.
