Unclassified AFRINIC NSP
Summary
Airtel Congo
mobile residential business airtel
The AS handle airtelcg is held by Airtel Congo S.A.
What it's used for
- The address space carries mobile and internet access traffic, evidenced by reverse DNS records pointing to
r.airtel.cg(e.g.,0-144-214-197.r.airtel.cg). - The network announces 32,256 IPv4 addresses across 20 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, while maintaining only 1 observed neighbour, a ratio indicative of an access or eyeball network rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- All RDAP registrants for the largest prefixes are listed as unknown, which does not contradict the announcer identity but reflects registry data gaps.
- Airtel Congo S.A is part of the Airtel Africa group, operating mobile, internet, and Airtel Money services in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
- The inventory consists of a single contiguous block within the 197.214.0.0/16 range, subdivided into various /18, /20, /22, /23, and /24 prefixes.

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 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. 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.
