Summary
Samart Infonet (Advanced Metering Infrastructure)
enterprise legacy
SAMART-AMI-AS is registered to Samart Infonet Co., Ltd., part of Thailand's Samart group, and is dedicated to the company's Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) business — the network behind smart electricity meters.
What it's used for
- Backend connectivity for a smart-metering platform: the head-end systems and meter-operations management that collect interval reads from electricity meters in the field.
- Samart has run AMI deployments for Thailand's Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA), the utility serving the country outside Bangkok.
Notable
- A purpose-built AS, not a general ISP. The name says what it is: this address space exists to serve one line of business.
- Tiny by design — two
/24s out of210.246.198.0/23, around 512 addresses. The meters themselves talk over cellular (NB-IoT/LTE), so the AS carries the collection platform rather than the endpoints.
Interesting
- An AS number in the 7000s allocated to what is essentially utility IoT plumbing is a reminder that a low AS number says nothing about what a network does today — only about when its holder first needed one.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 447 networks and 1,843 prefixes, as published 2026-11-01. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
