Summary
Speedcast
isp legacy
AS9229 (SPEEDCAST-AP) is held by Speedcast Limited, the satellite communications provider. Speedcast delivers connectivity to customers that terrestrial networks do not reach — ships, offshore energy platforms, remote mining and enterprise sites, and government deployments — and this AS is its Hong Kong-registered network in the APNIC region.
What it's used for
The routed footprint is small and deliberate. RIS sees 3 IPv4 prefixes, all adjacent /24s out of 203.88.80.0, carrying 768 addresses in total, with no IPv6 and 3 observed neighbours. That is a very compact estate for a company of Speedcast's operating scale, and it is a useful reminder that satellite service providers do not need large routed blocks: most of the value is in the space segment, teleports and terminals, while the IP addressing handed to a VSAT customer is often small, NAT'd, or allocated from a regional entity's own space rather than announced from a single global AS.
Three neighbours confirms this is not a transit business. The AS exists to give Speedcast's Asia-Pacific operation provider-independent address space it can announce from its own teleport connectivity, with a couple of upstreams for resilience. Speedcast operates multiple regional network entities; this is the Hong Kong one, and it should not be read as covering the company's worldwide addressing.
Notable
- Speedcast's business is remote and mobility connectivity — maritime, energy, enterprise and government — rather than fixed-line consumer or business access.
- The three /24s are contiguous and stable; there is no sign of scattered or third-party inventory in this AS.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Transit providers
3 upstream, 0 downstream and 3 adjacent networks observed; most-used upstreams first.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-14, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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: 442 networks and 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-15. 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.
