Unclassified APNIC
Summary
Datacom LLC (Mongolia)
isp hosting legacy
AS9789 (ASN-DATACOM-AP) is held by Datacom Co., Ltd, an internet and IT services company in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. The registry handle carries an old RPSL-conversion note (AS-DATACOM-AP converted to ASN-DATACOM-AP for RPSL compliance) rather than anything descriptive, and the -AP suffix says only that the resource came from APNIC. Do not confuse it with the similarly named Datacom Group in New Zealand and Australia, which is a different company on a different ASN.
What it's used for
Very little routing, from a company with a large local footprint. RIS sees exactly 1 IPv4 prefix, 202.131.7.0/24, carrying 256 addresses, with 2 observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6. A single /24 announced through a couple of upstreams is service infrastructure, not an access network: name servers, mail, web and dedicated-server hosting for customers. Datacom is Mongolia's ccTLD registry operator for .mn and an ICANN-accredited registrar, and a small, stable, multihomed block is precisely what registry and DNS infrastructure needs. Whatever broadband or corporate connectivity the company sells is evidently numbered elsewhere; what is visible in the global table from this ASN is a single service block.
Notable
- Datacom was Mongolia's first commercial internet service provider, launching service in 1996, and runs the
.mndomain registry. - One /24 and two neighbours means the AS exists for address portability and redundancy rather than to move volume.
- No IPv6 is announced.

Reputation
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: 436 networks and 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
