Summary
Pulsar Solutions
satellite bgan business mvs
MVSGROUP-AS is operated by Pulsar Solutions Inc., a satellite communications provider formerly known as Pivotel International.
What it's used for
- The address space carries Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) satellite services, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as
bganglobalnet.netandbgan.mvsusa.com. - The AS announces 8,960 IPv4 addresses across 7 prefixes while maintaining only 4 observed neighbours, a ratio indicative of a specialized access network rather than a transit provider.
- Traffic consists of satellite terminal connectivity for enterprise and government clients, leveraging providers like Viasat, Inmarsat, and Starlink for global coverage.
Notable
- Registrants for the majority of prefixes are listed as Pulsar Solutions Inc., with netnames including
US-PIVOTEL-20081111andUS-PIVOTEL-20140317reflecting the company's previous identity. - Pivotel International rebranded as Pulsar Solutions, expanding its portfolio to include managed satellite solutions beyond its original BGAN focus.
- The inventory includes a single /24 prefix (
148.59.27.0/24) registered to SatellitePhoneStore.com, which stands out from the otherwise uniform Pulsar-branded holdings.

No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-19, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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: 442 networks and 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-20. 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.
