Grameenphone · Bangladesh
Grameenphone is a mobile network operator in Bangladesh and part of Telenor Group, as the operator's own site states. The registry documents AS24389, registered to GrameenPhone Ltd., as the ASN carrying its mobile network, and records the MCC/MNC pair 470-01. Grameenphone runs 4G LTE and has announced a commercial 5G launch in all divisional headquarters.
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 Grameenphone
The registry records one ASN for Grameenphone, AS24389, and documents it as the mobile network. RIPEstat shows it announced, with 80 IPv4 prefixes against 94 IPv6 prefixes at the last probe, an IPv6 count that runs ahead of the IPv4 one. PeeringDB carries the network under the name GrameenPhone but leaves the network type blank and lists no website, so the database confirms who holds the number without saying what kind of network sits behind it.
An address whose origin ASN is AS24389 is routed by Grameenphone. The registry documents that ASN as the mobile network, so subscriber traffic originates there, though the same number can also carry the company's fixed and corporate connections and the routing data does not separate the two. Two other ASNs whose holder names start with Grameen, AS17471 for Grameen Cybernet and AS58946 for Grameen Communications, belong to separate companies and are not the mobile operator, so matching on the name alone misassigns addresses.
Research note. Site footer reads 'Grameenphone Limited | Part of Telenor Group'. PeeringDB net 24389 is named 'GrameenPhone' (org_id 14633) with no website field. 4G stated on /gp4g; 5G commercial launch in all divisional headquarters announced 1 Sep 2025 on the operator press release. RIPEstat: AS24389 announced=true. AS17471 (Grameen Cybernet) and AS58946 (Grameen Communications) in asn.txt are separate Grameen-family companies, not the MNO.

No. AS17471 belongs to Grameen Cybernet and AS58946 to Grameen Communications, which are separate companies in the same family rather than the mobile operator. The registry documents only AS24389 for Grameenphone, so addresses from the other two should not be attributed to the mobile network.
