Nar · Azerbaijan
Nar is the consumer brand of Azerfon LLC, a mobile network operator in Azerbaijan. The registry has no parent group on record for it. Its mobile network is carried by AS42779, registered to AZERFON Azerfon LLC and confirmed in a mobile role. Nar uses MCC 400 with MNC 04.
Autonomous systems
Holder names and prefix counts come from the RIPE NCC's RIPEstat Data API, fetched on 2026-09-06. Role and confidence come from the evidence linked in each row; "confirmed" means a PeeringDB or RIPEstat record, or the operator's own site, names the operator.
Mobile network codes
The MCC identifies the country and the MNC identifies the operator inside it. Together they appear in the IMSI of every SIM on the network and in device diagnostics; they are how a handset knows which network it is on.
About Nar
The registry records one ASN for Nar, AS42779, marked as carrying the mobile network of Azerfon LLC. At the last probe it was announced with 5 IPv4 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, a narrow routed footprint on both protocols. PeeringDB holds a record for the number under the name AZERFON, also given as Nar Mobile, typed NSP, with nar.az as the network website. Peering runs through Azertelecom, AS196925, which the registry does not record as a Nar ASN.
An address whose origin ASN is 42779 is routed by Azerfon under the Nar brand. The mobile role is confirmed, so this is the number to match for the operator's mobile traffic, though an operator ASN can also carry fixed and corporate connections, and five IPv4 prefixes cover a block small enough that how the operator uses parts of it is not visible from routing data. Treat the ASN as identifying the operator rather than the access type of any single address.

What is the MCC/MNC of Nar?

Does Nar run 4G or 5G?
The registry lists 5G that Azerfon presents in test mode in Sumgait. It holds no 4G statement from the operator's own pages, although the mobile network code table records LTE 1800 against MNC 04, so the registry does not confirm a commercial service on either generation.
