Robi · Bangladesh
Robi is a mobile network operator in Bangladesh and part of Axiata Group, which lists it as a mobile business in the country. The registry documents AS24432 as the ASN carrying its mobile network, with RIPEstat still showing the former legal name TM International Bangladesh Ltd. A second ASN, AS56138, is registered to Axiata (Bangladesh) Limited with no documented role. Robi holds the MCC/MNC pairs 470-02 and 470-07.
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 Robi
The registry records two ASNs for Robi. AS24432 carries the mobile network and announces 54 IPv4 prefixes against 97 IPv6 prefixes at the last probe, an IPv6 count close to twice the IPv4 one. PeeringDB lists that number as Robi Axiata Ltd. with the operator's own website and the network type NSP. AS56138, registered to Axiata (Bangladesh) Limited, announces no prefixes at the last probe and has no PeeringDB record, so the registry documents no role for it.
An address whose origin ASN is AS24432 is routed by Robi, and the registry documents that ASN as the mobile network. The PeeringDB type NSP points at service-provider traffic on the same number, so an address from it could be mobile, fixed or enterprise and the ASN alone does not settle which. AS56138 announces nothing, so no live address maps to it; were it to start announcing, the registry documents no role for that number either. The 470-07 code belongs to the Airtel brand, which the code table marks as merged with Robi.
Research note. PeeringDB net 24432 = 'Robi Axiata Ltd.' aka 'Robi', website http://www.robi.com.bd, type NSP; RIPEstat holder still shows former legal name TM International Bangladesh Ltd. AS56138 RIPEstat holder 'Axiata (Bangladesh) Limited' (Robi's legal entity) but announced=false; role unknown. AS132359 'M/S ROBI TRADERS' rejected (unrelated trader, PeeringDB 'Entity not found'). Extra from asn.txt: AS38069 AXIATA-AS-AP Axiata (Bangladesh) Limited, RIPEstat announced=false, no PeeringDB entry. MNC 470-07 is the Airtel brand (Bharti Airtel Bangladesh Ltd., formerly Warid) which the MNC table marks 'merged with Robi'. Parent: axiata.com lists Robi, country Bangladesh, shareholding 61.82%, nature of business Mobile, network coverage 4G 98.98%. Robi's own site (incl. /en/robi-5g) is a JS app returning no readable text, so 5G could not be cited from the operator page; the MNC table lists 5G bands for 470-02.
Checking whether an IP belongs to Robi
Look up the origin ASN of the address and compare it with the table above. RIPEstat answers for any address, and the RADB whois mirror lists the routes registered under an ASN.

What is Robi's ASN?
The registry records two. AS24432 is documented as the ASN carrying Robi's mobile network, announcing 54 IPv4 prefixes and 97 IPv6 prefixes at the last probe, and PeeringDB names it Robi Axiata Ltd. AS56138, registered to Axiata (Bangladesh) Limited, announces no prefixes and has no documented role.
What is the MCC/MNC of Robi?
The registry holds two pairs for Robi under MCC 470, the mobile country code for Bangladesh: 470-02 for Robi itself and 470-07 for the Airtel brand, which the code table marks as merged with Robi. Both identifiers therefore point at the same operator.
Is an IP from AS56138 a mobile IP?
The registry cannot say. AS56138 is registered to Axiata (Bangladesh) Limited, Robi's legal entity, but it announces no prefixes at the last probe and carries no PeeringDB entry, so no role is documented for it and no routed address currently originates from it.
