Unclassified AFRINIC
Summary
Airtel Kenya
mobile residential isp kenya
The AS handle CKL1-ASN is held by Airtel Networks Kenya Limited.
What it's used for
- The address space carries mobile and residential services, evidenced by reverse DNS entries pointing to
r.airtelkenya.comacross multiple prefixes. - The network announces 1,424,128 IPv4 addresses across 44 prefixes, with 22 observed neighbours, indicating a large access network serving end-users rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- Registrants for the largest prefixes, such as 154.152.0.0/14 and 105.230.0.0/15, are listed as Airtel Networks Kenya Limited, consistent with the AS holder.
- The inventory consists of large /14 and /15 blocks alongside finer subdivisions, typical of a major mobile operator managing both legacy and newer address space.

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: 442 networks and 1,773 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
