Summary
BaikalWestCom
mobile regional isp russia
AS50187 is operated by BaikalWestCom, a regional telecommunications provider in the Russian Federation.
What it's used for
- The address space carries mobile and broadband access traffic, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as
pppoe.hi-link.ruandip.newbwc.ru, and netnames includingRU-HI-LINK-20171130andBaikalWestCom. - The AS announces 5376 IPv4 addresses across 8 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, while maintaining 22 observed neighbours; this ratio of moderate address inventory to a significant number of peering partners indicates a regional access network rather than a pure transit provider.
- Traffic from this AS consists primarily of subscriber eyeballs and mobile data sessions for customers in the Irkutsk region and surrounding areas, consistent with the operator's history as a mobile and fixed-line ISP.
Notable
- Registrants for the announced prefixes are predominantly HiLink LLC and BaikalWestCom Ltd, with some entries listing HILINK ltd; these entities are associated with the operator's historical branding and corporate structure.
- BaikalWestCom was transferred to the control of Tele2 Russia as part of a 2014 amalgamation involving Rostelecom's wireless assets, leading to a rebranding of the service.
- The inventory includes a mix of /22 and /23 blocks, with the largest being
37.139.80.0/22,185.234.228.0/22, and212.67.28.0/22.

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.
