Summary

Alkan Telecom

Egypt · AI-generated

business telecom integration

Alkan-AS is operated by Alkan Telecom, an Egyptian telecommunications and system integration firm.

What it's used for

  • The address space is registered under the netname ORG-AT3-AFRINIC for ALKAN Telecom, indicating a corporate allocation rather than a public residential pool.
  • The AS announces a single IPv4 prefix, 41.223.196.0/22, comprising 1024 addresses, with no IPv6 prefixes in inventory.
  • With only 2 observed neighbours in the routing system, the low neighbour count relative to the address block suggests a limited transit footprint, consistent with a business or enterprise network rather than a major transit provider.

Notable

  • The RDAP registrant ALKAN Telecom matches the AS holder, confirming consistent ownership of the address space.
  • Alkan Telecom is the telecommunications and system integration arm of Alkan CIT, established in 1999 to provide business and telecom solutions in the region.
  • The inventory consists of a single contiguous /22 block, representing a compact and focused address estate for the operator.

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: 448 networks and 1,851 prefixes, as published 2026-11-04. 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.
