AS6103 MTW-ASN

MTW-ASN belongs to The Manitowoc Company, a Wisconsin manufacturer of cranes and lifting equipment. It is a corporate enterprise network, not a service provider.

What it's used for

• Connectivity for Manitowoc's own business: corporate offices, manufacturing plants and the sites that support them. The ASN exists so the company can multi-home across several upstream carriers rather than depend on a single circuit.
• The announced footprint is small: a handful of /24s carved from provider-assigned space. That is the normal shape for an enterprise that routes its own traffic but buys its addresses from its transit providers.

Notable

• An enterprise address, not an eyeball or hosting one: IPs here belong to a manufacturer's own staff and systems, so there are no residential subscribers and no third-party servers behind them.
• The ARIN registrant is listed in Milwaukee with the technical contact in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, the lakeside city the company is named after and where its crane business grew up.
• The low AS number is not evidence of an early-internet allocation here: the ARIN record's registration date falls in a known bulk-registration batch, so the number's history before this holder is not readable from the registry.
