Summary
Ucom (international)
transit isp legacy
UCOMINT is the international/backbone AS of Ucom CJSC, one of Armenia's largest telecom operators (FTTH, IPTV and mobile), headquartered in Yerevan. The handle reads as Ucom International, and that is what the network is.
What it's used for
- Upstream transit and interconnection. Around forty downstream ASNs sit behind it — largely Armenian ISPs, hosting companies and enterprises — against a large number of upstreams and peers.
- The AS itself carries only about 3,000 IPv4 addresses across a handful of /24s, plus two IPv6 /48s.
Notable
- The address count is the tell. Ucom's retail subscriber base could not fit in 3,000 addresses; that space lives on the group's other ASNs. What resolves here is backbone: router interfaces named for their peering cities (
ae21-0-msk.ucom.am,ae33-0-sof.ucom.am— Moscow and Sofia), a CDN cache node, and otherwise generichost-NNN.OCTETS.ucom.amnaming. - Classifying this as an eyeball network from the Ucom name alone would be wrong. It is the carrier-facing half of the business: a transit AS for a landlocked country that must buy its capacity across borders.
Interesting
- Armenia has no coastline and no direct submarine landing, so every Armenian network's path to the internet crosses Georgia, Russia or Iran. The Moscow and Sofia interface names on this AS are that geography written into DNS.

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: 431 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. 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.
