AS3253 SOVINTEL-EF-AS Uralrelcom Net

SOVINTEL-EF-AS belongs to PJSC VimpelCom, the Russian operator that trades as Beeline. The handle preserves Sovintel, an early Russian telecom joint venture that VimpelCom absorbed; the network description also carries the name of a Urals regional operator, and its contacts point at Beeline's Yekaterinburg operations.

What it's used for

• Fixed-line internet access in the Urals region as part of Beeline's wireline business, serving households and small-to-medium businesses.
• The space sits inside a much larger national operator, so this ASN is one regional piece of a nationwide network rather than a standalone ISP.

Notable

• This is mostly an eyeball address: an IP here is typically a Russian subscriber line, with some business connectivity mixed in.
• Legacy handles like this are a useful reminder that Russian telecom consolidated heavily. The registry name records a company that has not independently existed for a long time.
