Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Ford Motor Company
enterprise legacy
A Ford Motor Company network (FORDSRL-AS), registered to Ford's IT
organization in Allen Park, Michigan. The handle preserves Ford's Scientific
Research Laboratory, the research arm that first put the company on the
internet.
What it's used for
- Corporate networking for one of the world's largest automakers — offices, engineering and research sites, and manufacturing IT.
- An enterprise end-user network; Ford does not sell connectivity from it.
Notable
- A corporate address: IPs here belong to Ford employees, systems, and facilities rather than to customers or hosted third parties.
- The ARIN record dates to 1994, when large industrial R&D labs were among the first non-academic organizations to join the internet.
Interesting
- Ford's research laboratory, not its IT department, was the original registrant — a common pattern for early corporate ASNs, where the science side of the house got online first and the rest of the company followed.
