Summary
Navigata Communications Limited
isp legacy
WESTEL-1 is the AS of Navigata Communications Limited, a Canadian carrier
and competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC) offering voice, data, and
internet services to business customers.
What it's used for
- Carrier services across Canada — internet access, business voice and hosted PBX, and data connectivity. AS5071 announces roughly 39,000 IPv4 addresses.
Notable
- Unlike many low ASNs in this range, this one is genuinely old: ARIN's registration for AS5071 dates to June 1995. The
WESTELhandle comes from Westel, the telecom business that traces back to BC Rail's telecommunications operations. - The Canadian CLEC market is a small field of independents competing against the incumbent carriers, and Navigata has been one of the long-running names in it.
