AS5539 SPACENET SpaceNET AG

SPACENET is SpaceNet AG, an independent internet provider and data-centre operator headquartered in Munich. Its own registry description reads simply "Internet provider in southern germany".

What it's used for

• Business internet access, managed IT, hosting, and colocation for companies and public-sector institutions across southern Germany.
• Serving customer systems from SpaceNet's high-security data centres in and around Munich.

Notable

• This is a business-focused provider, not a mass-market consumer ISP. The addresses tend to belong to company sites, hosted servers, and colocated equipment.
• SpaceNet is a long-standing presence at the German exchanges, with native IPv6 peering at INXS in Munich and DE-CIX in Frankfurt, and it publishes its BGP communities and filtering policy openly.
• It does not accept IPv4 routes more specific than a /24, a conventional but explicitly stated filtering stance.

Interesting

• SpaceNet was founded in December 1993 and is among Germany's earliest commercial internet providers. Its original plan was to network companies by satellite, an idea abandoned almost immediately in favour of plain internet connectivity, and it became an Aktiengesellschaft in 2000.
