Summary

Telecom Namibia

Namibia · AI-generated

telecom residential mobile government

The AS handle TELECOM-NAMIBIA is held by Telecom Namibia.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries residential and mobile access traffic, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as ADSL-41-182-247-254.ipb.na and CDMA-41-182-239-255.ipb.na.
  • With 147456 IPv4 addresses announced across 52 prefixes and only 1 observed neighbour, the high address-to-neighbour ratio indicates a national access network rather than a transit provider.

Notable

  • Registrants for the largest prefixes, including 41.182.128.0/18 and 197.188.0.0/18, consistently list Telecom Namibia under the netname ORG-TN2-AFRINIC, aligning with the AS holder.
  • The address inventory is heavily subdivided into /18, /19, /20, and /21 blocks, reflecting a large domestic footprint managed by the national 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: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. 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.
