Unclassified APNIC
Summary
Vodafone Americas
enterprise legacy
CWI-AS is registered to Vodafone Americas, the US-registered arm of the Vodafone group, from an address in New York. The handle predates the current registration and says nothing useful about the network's present use.
What it's used for
- A small Vodafone group network rather than a consumer-facing one. It announces only a few
/24s, and those prefixes are registered to Vodafone entities in the UK and Germany — a pattern that points at internal carrier infrastructure, not customer address space. - Routing data shows a stub: a couple of peers and a single upstream, which is not the shape of an ISP serving end users.
Notable
- Carrier infrastructure address space. An IP here is far more likely to be Vodafone's own systems than a Vodafone mobile subscriber.
- The ARIN organisation record sits in New York while the address space it announces sits in the RIPE region — a reminder that the registry holding an ASN and the registry holding its prefixes need not be the same.
Interesting
- Some routing databases annotate this network as a GRX (GPRS Roaming Exchange) network — the kind of interconnect that lets a roaming subscriber's traffic reach their home operator. That is a community annotation rather than anything the registry states, so treat it as a hint rather than a fact.

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 1,782 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. 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.
