Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Natural Wireless, LLC
enterprise isp legacy
A single /22 announced by Natural Wireless, LLC, a fixed-wireless internet provider
serving New York City, northern New Jersey and Long Island. The ARIN handle TWRS-PHL is
a leftover from Towerstream, whose Philadelphia market Natural Wireless acquired.
What it's used for
- Addressing for a commercial fixed-wireless access network: rooftop and tower radio links that deliver dedicated internet access to business buildings without fibre or coax in the ground.
Notable
- The whole AS is one prefix,
216.127.112.0/22. That is typical of a regional fixed-wireless operator, which needs routable space for customer handoffs but not the large pools an eyeball ISP consumes. - Natural Wireless sells primarily to businesses, with a smaller residential offering, so the space is mostly dedicated commercial circuits rather than consumer broadband.
Interesting
- The
TWRS-PHLhandle is a good reminder that ARIN handles are historical artefacts: Towerstream sold several of its wireless markets, and the resources moved with the business while the naming stayed frozen.
