AS5552 DIALNET-UK
Unclassified RIPE
Summary
Redcentric Solutions Ltd
enterprise isp legacy
DIALNET-UK is held by Redcentric Solutions Ltd, a UK managed services provider headquartered in Harrogate. The handle is a survivor of the network's dial-up-era origins; the business today sells managed connectivity, cloud and hosting to enterprises and the public sector.
What it's used for
- Managed WAN and internet access for Redcentric's business and public-sector customers, alongside addressing for its own data centres and hosted platforms.
- Not a consumer broadband network despite the
DIALNETname.
Notable
- Redcentric grew largely by acquisition (it was demerged from Redstone in 2013 and absorbed several other UK managed-service businesses), so the AS carries address space and customer estates inherited from predecessor networks.
- The
DIALNET-UKhandle is the clearest evidence of the network's lineage: an early UK dial-up ISP identity that survived every rebrand and acquisition on the way to today's managed-services business.
