Summary
Interchange Limited
telecom wholesale vanuatu infrastructure
INTERCHANGE-AS-VU-AP is operated by Interchange Limited.
What it's used for
- The address space carries infrastructure for a Vanuatu-based telecommunications consortium, with the netname
INTERCHANGE-VUregistered to Interchange Limited. - The AS announces 256 IPv4 addresses across 1 prefix (
202.4.251.0/24) and maintains 5 observed neighbours, a ratio consistent with a regional bandwidth wholesaler and infrastructure provider rather than a large-scale access network. - Traffic from this AS supports the company's role as a bandwidth wholesaler and owner of the AelanSat satellite service and the subsea cable connecting Port Vila to Suva, Fiji.
Notable
- The RDAP registrant for the announced prefix is Interchange Limited, which aligns directly with the AS holder identity.
- Interchange Limited is a consortium providing telecommunications technologies and infrastructure to communities throughout Melanesia, with shareholders including the Vanuatu Government and Vanuatu Post Ltd.
- The inventory consists of a single /24 block, representing a compact address estate typical of a specialized infrastructure operator.

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 1,772 prefixes, as published 2026-10-15. 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.
