AS8116 BOSTON-SCIENTIFIC-132-189-0-0

BOSTON-SCIENTIFIC-132-189-0-0 is a corporate Autonomous System of **Boston

Scientific**, the medical-device manufacturer headquartered in Marlborough,

Massachusetts. The ARIN registrant object still reads Guidant Corporation, the

Indianapolis cardiac-device company Boston Scientific acquired — the contacts on

the record resolve to "Boston Scientific / Guidant Corp" and to BSCI Network

Engineering at the Marlborough campus.

What it's used for

• The company's own internet-facing corporate systems. Reverse DNS inside 204.155.16.0/22 lands on www.bostonscientific.com and on bscfieldsource.com hosts, a field-service application for its device business.
• Site connectivity for its US facilities, including the legacy 132.189.0.0/16 space that gives the AS handle its name.

Notable

• This is an enterprise network, not hosting and not access. There are no subscriber pools; every sampled name is a first-party corporate or application host.
• It is small — about 3,300 addresses across nine prefixes — which is typical for a large manufacturer whose public web presence sits on CDNs and whose staff egress through a handful of corporate gateways.

Interesting

• The handle is a good example of a registry object outliving a corporate reorganisation: the AS name says Boston Scientific, the registrant org says Guidant, and the operational contacts say both.
