Summary
MTN South Africa
isp mobile legacy
MTN SA is the South African network of MTN Group, the Johannesburg-based operator that is the largest mobile carrier on the African continent.
What it's used for
Carrier infrastructure for MTN's South African operations. The AS announces AFRINIC space in the 41.209.0.0/16 range plus RIPE-era 195.202.x and 217.199.152.0/21 blocks. Routing-status detail and reverse DNS were not available on the sampled addresses, so the precise split between mobile-subscriber, fixed and corporate use inside this AS cannot be pinned down here.
Notable
- MTN Group operates across many African and Middle Eastern markets; this AS is specifically the South African entity, not the pan-African backbone.
- Because the reverse DNS did not resolve on the sampled addresses, the classification rests on the holder identity rather than on observed subscriber naming.
