Summary
SatGate Iraq
isp satellite legacy
SatGate-Iraq — SatGate, an internet service provider based in the Karrada district of Baghdad, serving businesses and government and private institutions in Iraq.
What it's used for
- Delivering internet access to corporate, institutional, and government customers in Iraq.
- Trading in computer systems and communications equipment alongside the connectivity business — the legal entity's full name spells this out.
Notable
- Iraqi ISPs have historically leaned heavily on satellite (VSAT) capacity, since terrestrial fibre out of the country was limited and unreliable for years. Satellite links come with high latency and metered capacity, which shapes how the address space is used.
- This is a provider network serving mostly business and institutional customers, not a mass-market consumer broadband operator.
Interesting
- SatGate is a RIPE NCC Local Internet Registry, which is what lets a relatively small Iraqi operator hold and hand out its own address space rather than borrowing from an upstream.

Classification and threat
Residential Fixed-line consumer ISP. Addresses here are homes.
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: 455 networks and 1,849 prefixes, as published 2026-11-14. 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.
