Entel ASN, MCC/MNC and IP prefixes

Entel is a mobile network operator in Bolivia, part of Bolivian state (Ministry of Public Works, Services and Housing, 97.4671%). It routes traffic through one autonomous system (AS6568), which announced 303 prefixes at our last probe, and its SIMs carry MCC/MNC 736-02.

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 Entel

Entel is a Bolivian mobile network operator owned 97.4671 percent by the Bolivian state through the Ministry of Public Works, Services and Housing. Its mobile network is carried on AS6568, registered to Empresa Nacional de Telecomunicaciones Sociedad Anonima. The registry records one MCC/MNC pair for Entel, 736-02, and lists 4G LTE and 5G.

The registry records a single ASN for Entel, AS6568, and marks its role as mobile with confirmed confidence. At the last probe that ASN announced 216 IPv4 prefixes against 87 IPv6 prefixes, so its IPv4 footprint is roughly two and a half times its IPv6 footprint. PeeringDB lists the network as Entel S.A. - EntelNet and records no network type for it. AS6568 carries Entel's integrated network rather than mobile traffic alone, and the registry holds no separate mobile-only ASN for the operator.

An address whose origin ASN is AS6568 is routed by Entel. The registry confirms the mobile role for that ASN, so a match tells you the traffic sits on Entel's network, but because the same ASN carries the operator's fixed and ISP customers as well, the origin ASN alone does not tell you whether a given address is a handset on the mobile network or a fixed line. Anything outside AS6568 is not Entel address space as the registry records it.

Research note. AS6568 is Entel S.A.'s single ASN (RIPEstat holder + bgp.he.net website entel.bo); it carries the whole integrated network (mobile, fixed, ISP), no separate mobile-only ASN found. PeeringDB rate-limited (429) during research, not checked. AS26210 (AXS Bolivia) and AS27839 (Comteco) are unrelated Bolivian ASNs. Entel 5G runs on band n78 per entel.bo/5GEntel.

Check whether an IP belongs to Entel

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.

Questions

What is Entel's ASN?
The registry records one ASN for Entel in Bolivia, AS6568, held by Empresa Nacional de Telecomunicaciones Sociedad Anonima and confirmed in a mobile role. At the last probe it announced 216 IPv4 prefixes and 87 IPv6 prefixes.
What is the MCC/MNC of Entel?
Entel uses MCC 736 with MNC 02, the single pair the registry records for the operator. 736 is Bolivia's mobile country code and 02 identifies Entel within it. The registry lists no second MNC for the network.
Is an IP from AS6568 a mobile IP?
Not necessarily. AS6568 is confirmed as Entel's mobile ASN, but it also carries the operator's fixed and ISP traffic, so an address originating there could belong to a handset or to a fixed connection. The ASN alone does not settle it.

Where Entel meets other networks

PeeringDB records Entel as a participant at internet exchanges in 3 cities. Each city page lists the exchanges there and the other networks present.

Sources

ASN and prefix data describe how the operator's networks are registered and announced. They do not identify an individual subscriber or where a device is, since carriers route traffic from many areas through shared gateways.
