Summary
Broadband Systems Corporation
isp rwanda regional nsp
BSC-AS is operated by Broadband Systems Corporation, a regional internet service provider based in Kigali, Rwanda.
What it's used for
- The address space is registered under the netname
ORG-BSC1-AFRINICand carries IPv4 blocks within the41.197.0.0/16range, consistent with a national ISP providing access services. - The AS announces 65,536 IPv4 addresses across 13 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, while maintaining 20 observed neighbours; this ratio of address space to peering partners indicates a regional access network rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- All registrants in the RDAP sample are
Broadband Systems Corporation, matching the AS holder and confirming consistent ownership of the announced space. - The address inventory is finely subdivided into multiple /19, /20, /21, and /22 blocks, reflecting site-by-site or segment-based allocation typical of a growing regional ISP.
- Secondary sources identify the company as a local ISP founded in 2010 that has partnered with data center operators for AI-ready facilities in Rwanda.

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: 440 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.
