Summary
Airtel Gabon
mobile residential telecom gabon
Airtel is the AS handle for Airtel Gabon S.A, the Gabonese mobile telecommunications operator.
What it's used for
- The address space carries mobile subscriber traffic, evidenced by reverse DNS records pointing to
r.airtel.ga(e.g.,0-185-0-154.r.airtel.ga). - With 3840 IPv4 addresses announced across 8 prefixes and only 4 observed neighbours, the high address-to-neighbour ratio indicates an access or eyeball network rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- RDAP registrants for all listed prefixes are marked as unknown, so no direct registry agreement with the announcer can be confirmed from the pack.
- Airtel Gabon was formed in 1999 as Celtel Gabon before being acquired by Zain, and is now a branch of the Indian multinational Bharti Airtel Limited.
- The inventory consists of eight IPv4 prefixes within the 154.0.176.0/21 range and a single IPv6 prefix, 2c0f:3800::/32.

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.
