Unclassified APNIC
Summary
Hitron Technology / Asia Pacific Online (APOL)
isp business residential hosting legacy
AS9311 (HITRON-AS-AP) is registered to Hitron Technology Inc., a Taipei company, but the network it carries is the Asia Pacific On-line Services (APOL) ISP. This is a registrant-versus-operator split worth knowing about: Hitron is best known as a hardware maker, and the routing evidence is unambiguously an ISP's.
What it's used for
RIS sees 75 IPv4 prefixes carrying 21,248 addresses, 1 IPv6 prefix (2404:0:4000::/36), and only 1 observed BGP neighbour — a single-homed access network, not a carrier. The core of the space is the contiguous 210.200.x / 210.201.x range, whose registry netname is APOL and which is assigned to Asia Pacific On-line Services Inc. Every sampled PTR agrees: hostnames follow nk210-200-136-5.cl.static.apol.com.tw and 210-58-98-5.cm.static.apol.com.tw, i.e. statically assigned customer lines under apol.com.tw, with the cm variants suggesting cable-modem service. So the ASN carries APOL's Taiwanese access and business-connectivity customers.
Alongside the core APOL blocks sits a tail of unrelated-looking /24s drawn from newer APNIC space (103.246.252.0/23, 103.234.45.0/24, 103.122.224.0/24) and even RIPE-region space (185.171.169.0/24). These are most plausibly customer or leased assignments riding the same origin AS, but they are not part of the historic APOL allocation.
Notable
- Hitron founded APOL as a subsidiary in the late 1990s and later divested it; APOL subsequently ended up under the Asia Pacific Telecom group. The AS registration kept the old Hitron name.
- Do not read this ASN as a hardware vendor's corporate network — the address space is retail ISP inventory.

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: 432 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.
